Film's Cool - Editing session 11/12/12

On Tuesday we went to Film's Cool where two editors came in to look at our trailers and to see what they thought we could change. After looking at our rough trailer, we where told that going more along the lines of showing the horror of death rather than the focus being on the blood and gore.

We have a scene where we walked threw the void and we where advised to use that as the drug den for our two main characters. He suggested we cut the scene up and put short scenes of our two main characters doing drugs to show what they're doing in the area. We where also advised to show a scene where the main female has blacked out due to the drugs and is being revived by her friends.

We where told to show the main characters faces over and over to create an understanding as to who the main characters are, having Eleanor and Hunter's faces flash up sweaty and happy and her two friends faces flash up worried, show the audience that Eleanor is happy with what she's doing but her friends know she needs to stop.

He also recommended that we watched 'Requiem for a Dream' as it is a film circling the effect of drugs on people and how they cope.
