Cutting of the car scene

Throughout looking at our title sequence and looking at how much footage we had already, and looking at how much time the titles were taking up of the title sequence, it was clear that the car scene was neither relevant or important enough to try and rush the rest of the title sequence to then have room and time for te car sequence at the end. It would have ruined the tension and the meaning that we have tried to create for the audience.

At this point, we have only filmed tester shoots for this scene; we have no definite footage that we could use for this scene. Although we have been organised with our filming so far we have had our fair share of problems. I do not believe that we would have got the perfect shots in order to create the meaning we want to present to our audience.

Priyanka and I had to make this decision on behalf of the group. We did not feel that it brought any significant importance to the clip. We also kept reminding ourselves that this is not a full film, it is only the opening 2 minutes. The car scene may come later in the film. This would be a plan if the project were to have been a longer sequence. All of our decisions have to be based around what meaning we are creating for the audience, how much tension it is presenting to the audience, and whether or not we are sustaining continuity within the thriller according to the codes and conventions of the specific sub-genre we are focusing on.
