Editing evaluation.

During the editing we came across a few problems with the film length, we tried cutting down each clip to get it to a minute long but we had quite a lot of dialogue so it was harder to do. In one of the shots the digital signal dropped out leaving a blocked image, we planned to resolve this problem by doing a close up shot of our actor dialling on the phone. However, we couldn't do this as our actor was unavailable. We have choosen a particular sound track to match the atmosphere of the characters, especially the male one as it emphasises his bad intentions. In the establishing shot we used the "typing" title style because the main part of the plot was our kidnapper typing the ransom note on the computer. For the credits we used the scrolling effect because this is the most common method for a lot of films, we also wanted to keep it simple.
