Changes in editsAt first our group had intentions of including a lot of footage in the opening sequence, however this would jeopardise our group getting top marks so we had to cut some scenes. For example the opening sequence was initially four minutes, so we have had to cut it down (by cutting many scenes such as the scene where Rhydian throws a stranger off the bridge) to two and a half so we are in the category of getting full marks.Another thing we changed was including a split screen which allowed the audience to see two things that were happening at once.

Camera shotsAt first, my group came up with tedious camera shots, then as a group we looked up interesting camera shots. One of the shots we discovered was the shot where we film Rhydian, staring at the screen, and the audience can see the reflection of the computer screen in his glasses.We also included another camera shot which involved the reflection of Rhydian being on the computer screen when he opens it at the beginning of the opening sequence.

Sounds Sounds were changed very much throughout the whole editing of the opening sequence, this is because we were unable to find a sound that fitted perfectly for the majority of the opening sequence. Eventually we settled with the heart beat and heaving breathing sound effects, these went well when Rhydian was descending levels in the house to leave it, as he was frightened.
