Changing the opening credits

Neelam and Emmak came up with an idea that they had spotted on one of the DVD starting screen when you go to press "play". They said it looked like newspaper cuttings of some sort that spelled out the word "MURDER" which kept flashing up over different images. They felt that this fitted our film and so adapted it to the phrase "MURDER IS LIKE MUSIC TO MY EARS" as this fits with the theme of murder and the theme of the music box from our film. We decided to use this in our film because the fast pacing clips that was usually at the start of our film, seemed clear to us that it was more of a trailer than an actual 2 minute opening.

So, they inserted black screen in between the pre-made montage of short clips at the beginning and each one lasting between 6-7 seconds. Then however, they had the tricky task of making it fit the music we had previously perfectly edited to fit in time with the part of the film when the black and white type writer begins to write "The Music Box" when the heavier part of the beat begins. They took calculators and divided the length of the time by the number and lengthof black screens they had inserted and so after a long process, they eventually made it fit perfectly.
