Horror movie opening: Watching it back

At first we were quite unhappy with our horror opening after watching it back. However after doing some serious editing on it, our opinions changed. We were quite pleased with it after cutting out some useless footage, sharpening the cuts and putting some better edits in it as well as title screens and a range of effects and music. Below are some screen shots of the logo we devised for our production company 'Raven productions' and print screens of the process of editing.

In this screen shot we are editing the shot were Micheal has just heard a strange noise from a bush we are editing the close up on his face to make it the right length and also an effective edit.

We are editing a POV shot here and putting in a 'ghosting effect' to make the masked man appear un-human.

Here we are putting in the title of 'The River' we made it 'wave' to represent water and it also looks more creepy adding to the genre of horror with this.We put the title near the end to show that the shocking event at the beginning at the movie is just a snippet of whats to come, implying that there is much more gruesome scenes to come later in the film.

This is a shot of our finished logo 'Raven productions'.
