Editing is important in films as you need to create an effect on the normal film to create suspense and tension as a convention to the thriller. With the editing throughout the film it can also make it look real and get the audience involved and if anything has happened they can relate to real life circumstances.
The first edit we will include is slow editing, this is when Brittany is sitting down at the start reading the newspaper when she realises what she has seen, there will also be another use of slow editing when the stalker is looking over the girls through the window.
Another edit involved linking shots, this is when you link a number of shots together to create a motion effect, this will be when the ouija board first goes wrong and the girls are running around and getting scared bringing an effect to assume they are scared.
Jump cut will be another edit used, this will be used when the lights are flickering from different rooms and the camera will switch from the girls to outside and back creating suspense and shock to see what is going to happen.
All of these edits will be conventional through our thriller film as they will create suspense and horror the whole way through keeping the audience on the edge of their seat and then when the stalker comes the slow edit will come in the show horror and the audience may feel to interact with the girls shouting for them to get out.
You have made a start in describing what editing styles you would like to include within your production. You have also considered some of the conventions too.
