Drafting and Planning - Editing

I then began to think of the different editing techniques I will use to create effect. The following are the ideas I came up with:

• Fade: I will fade from the shot of the newspaper clippings to the shot of the young girl travelling on the train. This initiates to the audience a change in atmosphere but in the back of their mind they will remember the murder and that a girl is missing. 
• Straight Cut: I will use a straight cut from the shot of the girls drinking/listening to music/getting to know each other to a knock at the door. This will be effective as it will show a change in atmosphere which is about to happen. 
• Quickened Pace: I will speed up the pace towards the end of the trailer to contrast with the beginning. The fast pace will initiate fear and nervousness as the girls are trying to escape from the house.
