A nightmare on elms street is a very old film so the editing isnt going to be as updated. It begins with extreme close ups of someones hands who is making a new set of gloves. Fire and many different tools are used. Without seeing who the character is, it creates tension as to what this person is going to do with the gloves. After the knifes on the gloves are shown,  the title bursts through and stops it. The colours used are black red and white, which are the conventonal colours of a horror.After the title, the woman character is shown and she is purely against a white background. At the time this was made this is the simple the edit that they could use. Although it is effective as you focus purely on her and her emotions. After this we see her running through a dark corridor, and shes running from the white room she was previously in. The extreme long shot gets in her running with the corridor, its important for the auidence to see what shes doing. The goat that runs out on her is incredibly random but makes the auidence jump as they are on edge. The contrast of white and black occurs throughout, could white mean the way out?

This is the storyboard we made before filming the preliminary task. We thought the extreme close up of the feet was originally a good idea, but it turned out that it didnt work properly. The storyboard is pretty much the same as the preliminary task, although some of the shots were slightly changed to make it look better.

Preliminary task!

This is our preliminary task, in this clip Alex is going to see a councilor about her being able to see something or someone. It is a standard interview that includes close ups, extreme close ups, point of view shots, and others. The extreme close up of Alex's hand scratching is effective because it creates tension, but not for as long as we did it for. In our main task we will remember to take different shots of each line so we have a choice when it comes to editing. Overall we think our task is below average and wasnt edited very well. Although this is the case we found that the point of view shot is very effective and so are the close ups. These are two main shots that we will definetly use in our main task.
