During this stage of editing i have finished the first sequence that the audience will see, consisting of a stabbing. It cuts off with the character holding their abdomen which has been stabbed and ends, ready to move into the next scene which leaves the audience wondering does this person die or survive?
From the screenshot it shows how the footage is black and white (which is a classic Film Noir technique) i decide to use the 'black and white' effect for two reasons. The first being, when filming the 'fake blood' sequence i used chocolate sauce (rather than creating my own fake blood as it can often look unrealistic and make my trailer look more silly than serious) as when used with a black and white filter looks like blood due to the consistency. I adopted this technique from director 'Alfred Hitchcock' who used this method in his film Psycho.
My second reason for having this scene in black and white was because it was suppose to represent an action that had already happened (set in the past).
