Continuity editing example

This is our example of continuity editing where we use various camera angles, the theoretical rules such as the 180 and 35 degree rules. We chose to use all diegetic sounds and using an editing program we removed all the background noise that was extremely loud. We believe that using diegetic sound in such environment (school) is more effective because it emphasises every movement of the character as well as the camera. This preliminary task has allowed me to understand how to use the camera in the scene where the victim is interrogated (main opening sequence) because the use of the 180 degree rule will allow my group to not confuse the audience, as well as make the scene have much more flow.

Se7en Reshoot

This is our reshoot of the opening sequence of the movie Se7en. Surprisingly, even without all the equipment like the metronome we were able to give the opening our own unique style which can be seen as a somewhat parodical, however we still tried to make it suspensful through the use of music and camera work. The music used is the original version with a few cuts here and there to make it more parallel to what is on the screen. There are no diegetic sounds as we believed it would reduce the suspense in the opening.
