Here you can see a link of the final cut that we created from Katie's blog.

When watching the clip you can automatically see the institutions which are Warner Bros, we used this for the simple reason that they are very popular and that most films by them are very successful. They also produce lots of crime/ thriller films.

0.20 At this point you see a personalized institution which is DynamiteKitty; this is something that we have stuck with throughout the final project and when we first started the media project and sticking with this through our continuity projects etc.

0.25 and throughout you see the titles, these are black and white we have used these simple but very effective titles for the simple reason that it suits the clip perfect, this links with the crime/ thriller genere. The titles use a simple swipe in and swipe out effect which again keeps it simple but easily readable to people watching. The reason that Black and White was also used it to link in with the flash back scenes that also run throughout in the clip.

0.40 Here you see a clip of the interrogator which is Reece, this person is blacked out almost to secure his identity as he is used more often in the clip. The shot works really well with what we are trying to create, the mysterious and suspicious effect. We used the camera and titled it slightly to create the canted shot which you can see. To darken the shot the editing software was used and at this point we needed to change the brightness.       

0.48 At this point you can see Ryan Taylor (Barry) this is the person that is being interrogated for something that this person did not do but this would be seen throughout the rest of the clip. Again you can see that the brightness and the contrast has been changed and this is similar throughout. Here we have tried to created an injury to the head which looks really effective and keeps the people watching interested in how this happened which would be seen in the flash backs.  

1.02 You can see that there are 2 people in this shot and this is the person interrogating and the suspect. This shot looks effective as it shows nothing around this area and its totally black which shows the danger of the clip and makes people suspicious of whats happened. You can see very faintly that there are some lights in the center of the table this is one of our props, the tape recorded which is used to make the clip look more realistic and as though this is a proper interrogation that is being recorded for evidence.

1.07 here you can see that it goes into the flashback scene, you can see that this has changed to black and white which shows that its in the past and Ryan Taylor is refreshing his mind and trying to remember what happened on the night of the accident which will be seen later in the clip.

1.20 you can also see at this point that things are much slower this is because we have slowed the clips down to make it look to the audience that Ryan Taylor is struggling to remember what happened and to make it look like a more realistic situation.

1.22 Here again you can see more titles that run before and after the flashbacks this again has been used to slow the process down (Inner Titles)

1.54 Again you can see the flashbacks but you see a change of scenery at this point this is when they have left the house and walking looking for somewhere to go. Camera angle is used here to show the open area and to look as though someone is watching them and they have no idea about it.

2.06 This has gone back to the interrogation at this point the camera is looking directly at Ryan Taylor we done this as it shows the fear and the sadness of the person trying to remember what happened and being framed for something that he didn't do.

2.19 at this point you can see that the camera is titled this angle is called a canted shot this looks very effective and is showing the argument, you also see that it looks as though the male character is higher at this point showing that he is more dominant and overpowering towards the girl.

2.23 you can see that the girl pushed Ryan Taylor suggesting the argument it getting heated and can turn out dangerous, this is why Ryan Taylor is being interrogated. (More to be seen throughout the clip)

2.32 Here you can see an unexpected character enter from the left this person is holding something in his hand suggesting that he is potentially dangerous and is heading over to Ryan Taylor

2.35 Here you can see the unexpected person raises his hand and the weapon that he is holding and goes to hit Ryan over the head which shows why the head injury has happened. Before Ryan gets hit the screen goes and fads to black to show that something has happened and that he has been knocked out.

2.43 you can again see Ryan interrogated and is looking directly at the camera this again shows that the audience can see the fear and the scared face.

2.45 you see a flask back of the woman on the floor dead this person has been killed by the unexpected person however they think it was Ryan as they were arguing.

2.55 at this point you can see the face that was hidden at first the reason that you can now see this is the simple reason that its the same person that hit Ryan and killed the girl, as this person is the interrogator he is protecting himself from getting locked up for a murder and has flipped the story around to make it sound as though Ryan is being framed.

3.16 Here you can see Reece, you can also see a weapon in his hand which is a knife with blood on, you can see that this would be the weapon that killed the woman that Ryan is being framed for

3.30 At this point you can see the name of the film which is Decipher. When you watch lots of films you usually see this first before the rest of the clips are shown. However we have flipped this around and put it at the end as it keeps people interested and makes they have to watch the clip to see what the film is called.
