editing of "captured" production

when i had finished filming my opening title sequence i then had to go on to editing it, to make it the best it could be. the first thing i done was to cut out any wrong scenes and make sure that all the scenes that were needed were in chronological order without any mishaos.
after this i started to test different effects that i could use and decide on the better ones thta really added effect to my title openign sequence. the first effect used was the one of black and white, this was used so that when the girl left the bedroom the black and white theme continued this effect also had an echoyeffect attached to it, so thereore it gave more spooky feeling to the film. the first transition i used was a dip to black which again continued with the black and white themed and put the first and second scene together so well.
nextly i again used a dip to black etransition when the girl was entering the bathroom, this was used as it really contrasted the colours as as soon as the light was turned on it was rather bright. it also added effect to the film as looked as she was about to enter a room full of darkness.
next to be used was the effect of ghosting which tunred out to be the best and my personal favourite as it added so a ghosty but dreamlike feel it left you wondering weither the victim in waiting could really be imagining what was going on. this effect was used when she looked in the mirror nad saw her masked killer for the first time. then in came another transition " fade in" where she then looked behind her and of course there was nothing there. another well known horror effect. then when the girl left the bathroom she was continued to be followed by the masked killer, after relizing how well the effect had been used previously and how well it added horror dimension to the film i then decided that this effect of ghosting would be used repeatledly to create a theme in the film that whenver the maked killer came into the viewers view he would always appear in this ghsoting effect which aksed the question was it a killer given ghosty effects or was this girl really having a dreamlike imagination?
after a moment in the kitchen where the girl poured a drink and relized she was about to drink blood the girl went to leave the kitchen, when watching this i decided the best transtion to use would be dip to balck as again it added the continutity to the film and there wasnt to much effects and transtitions to make it fancy but enough of the same and similar ones to contiune the effect and feeling my title opening sequenece was aiming to create. it also but the girl into darkness which was just what i wanted to add more tension for what was about to happen...
when the girl opens the kitchen door her killer is standin there waiting with knife in hand the girl screams, then, the image changes to be infront of the girl as a closeup where she continues to scream, again a ghsoting effect was used to continue with the dreamlike theme that had been used for whenever the killer appeared. it then wen to a black a screen where the title "captured" i think the end was really good as it really gave of the horror feeling with the scream, as the scream echoed it was clear the title opening was reaching the end so adding the title in with such an effect, just left everyone waiting for the film to begin.
i then went on to add the music soundtrack to my production the song i chose was darkstar when i put this into my film i instantly liked it the music gave off such a terror and suspense feeling and the peak of the music went up in all the right places i knew i had found the right soundtrack. the sound of it matched the scenes and plot of film perfectly. i cut out all the sound that was picked up unwanted during the filming apart from the alarm ringing and of course that deadly scream. with the sound added by title opening seqeucne was perfected and finished!!!
