Re-editing the film

After editing our film, we watched it over, and decided it was unclear of what was going on. There was also no suspense, which is a key element of the thriller genre.

Due to this, we decided to change the film. Rather than have 3 separate clear scenes, we decided to intertwine them. The main part of the movie will be Billy and Shelby on webcam, with the 'park' scene and 'party' scene slotted between in black and white, as memories. While they are talking to each other, they are remembering how they met, and what happened earlier that day.

By re-ordering it in this way, its clear what is happening now, and what happened before. It also sets up the film as being nice and loving, until we get to the message being 'sent' to Billy, which is followed by Shelby, and then Billy being murdered. By doing it this way, we lure the audience into a false sense of security first, so when the murder goes take place, its more unexpected.
