We felt that this was appropriate because we thought that it would scare some people when we put it into our clip. This is because they would not be expecting it to come up into their hearing. This is a typical convention of the Thriller genre. When people are not expecting what they hear, they are scared because it is natural of the human nature to want to know what is happening. When they don't know they feel uncomfortable and out of their comfort zone.
We decided to use many straight cuts instead of using transitions such as fade because we felt that this was appropriate as we did not want people to wait for something to happen. We did straight cuts so that we could get straight to the point and make sure that people felt on edge when they were watching our clip. We made everything that we did within transitions fast and straight to the point as we thought this would be most effective. Although we did use a fade edit when changing from the train to the house, we decided that we would make this a quick fade so that we did not leave the audience waiting for too long. Flashing shots were also used for effectiveness because this meant that the audience we scared and waiting for something to happen. The audience want to see what is going to come after the flashing shots. We used a zoom effect on the weapons inside the bag as we also thought that this would be effective as it gives the audience a chance to recognize the weapons that 'The Watcher' is going to be using to get away with his crimes.
Towards the end of the clip, we decided to use some white flashing images so that we could let the audience see what the important parts of the clip are and the parts which they should have picked up on e.g. the hanging pictures below. We thought that the white flash to the next image would be effective because it basically tells them the storyline.
