 This opening film above is called violet made by previous students from my college.

Sound: The opening sound was the sound from a ballerina musical box. It was calm but gave that sense that something was not right. The sound of the musical box had the under beat sound of someones heartbeat pounding slowly. Then again after the underneath sound of the heartbeat they then included the sound the musical box makes when someone turns the key. After a while both the sound of heartbeat and key turning draws out but leaving that ballerina musical box sound still going with an underneath sound of like paper creasing together/burning. Then before the narrative voice over there was the sound of faint woosh sounds and someones shoe sound which made it spooky.
I think I liked the way that when the big drone came over that musical box sound as to indicate that it all begins now kind of thing, and infact that was the outcome from then on all the calm sounds had stop and it was all fast sounds which went with the editing.


Editing: There was a lot editing in this student opening. The opening credits, were white and bold but had a shaky/lightening edited effect. Then there was a change from colour to black and white on a particular scene where the man is looking or sorting out photo's. This shows good editing skills which were most likely done after filming that particular shot.I also noticed that everytime the scene went back to the house or inside the home the colour effects had changed to black and white apart from the place where the girl is in the bath and blood running down her skin. Then again, there was the effect of black and white but with flickering shots. All this presented that they were showing a flashback of a previous even that happened. I liked the fast pace editing that was used towards the end, which ended up being a dream.
