Group Planing: Editing Techniuqes

As our group had decided  to challenge the conventions of soap opera, in order to compete with Hollyoaks; we deicied to use a wide variety of editing techniques which where provided on Final Cut Pro.

As editior and storyline creator I wanted to really emphasise the drug storyline; I achieved this by usign many editing technique which include a spinning flash, vignette and zoom effects; all of these affects challenged soap opera conventions as they are not natural. The other scenes which are featured within our trailer included basic editing techniques such as cuts, crossdisolves, and title screens.

The sound which we used within our trailer was non-dieget, as we used East Ender Long from Final Cut Pro as our theme song within the trialer. We planned to use Prodigy - Firestarter for our drug which we purchased from Itunes, however this was copyright material; without the song it felt like the theme song was too joyous for the mood of the scene; this I why I had chosen to add non-diegtic sound of a police siren as it create a negative connotation for the scene.
