An editing technique that has been implemented into my section of the opening sequence to create meaning are transitions these have been used within the opening sequence at various scenes such as the scene where the student who has just arrived into class (protagonist) looks around the room at each student who is present with there being transitions to every student this is done to provide a clear overview of who is part of the story line and their identities as students within the sequence and gives the audience a clear but brief insight into the nature of all the characters that are shown. Another example of the use of transitions is shown towards the end right after the blackout had occurred and the class is shocked as they find the teacher dead right in front of their eyes. This is done to create suspense and change the mood of the overall atmosphere as the situation escalates to a dangerous extent for the rest of the class due to the murder that has been committed and they are completely unaware of who it has been committed by therefore creates tension amongst the group.
Another editing technique that is used is sounds such as the use of music which is used within the beginning of the opening sequence which is done to help provide an establishment to the situation, this also helps to elevate the introduction for the audience which therefore keeps them intrigued in the film and keeps the audience interested in the story-line. Background sounds have also been used at 2:42 where chaos pursues within the class as chairs, tables etc are heard being thrown around or pushed indicating the class is in a state of panic as they are afraid of what is happening since they have no means of seeing the state of the situation.
