Final Editing.

We have filmed all of our shots needed for our opening, so now we are editing it all. To make one part of our opening dramatic we chose to take the ‘I love you’ scene said by the girl into black and white, but only having her red lips in colour. The reason for this is to make sure the audience know that it is a female who is saying it. Also it is to symbolise the themes running throughout the opening; love and death.  The red lips also link into the red writing at the end of the opening. We found some problems when making this edit because the computer we were using did not have the correct software to do this effect, so we used misses computer, made the effect and transferred it over to our computer, where we then added that scene into our opening.
We have added all the cuts and now have made each one flow nicely into the next by using some black fades and blurs. For the flashbacks we have decided to use white fades so the audience knows that this is a flashback. These flashbacks occur when the cigarette falls to the ground, to add drama and empathise this we have slowed down the falling of the cigarette.
