'Remorese' - The Final Cut

This is the final cut of our film opening sequence. This differs from the previous cut by incorporating a non-diegetic voice over. We found that timing the lines in correlation to the music helped to emphasise the element of sadness, giving the voice over, and the narrative as a whole, more substance and meaning. Comparing this to our first cut, we can conclusively say that this is a much more appealing and professional looking product. Doing multiple cuts also made us feel more confident to add in new aspects with every cut, so that when we reached our final cut all of these technical areas worked together to solidify the idea that this is a good example of a film that sticks to the conventions of the crime/drama genre and fulfils the need of an opening, which is to grip and entice audience members and make them feel compelled to continue watching for the sake of closure.
