Editing the opening

 Editing is a essential part of the film making process as the sequence in which a shots are placed can either make or break a film. This video  by Filmaker IQ discusses the history and importance of editing in detail and how it helped the art of filmaking grow into unexpected levels of creativity. The editing in the film opening is integral in communicating what the film is about and how it should feel. For my particular film opening I take inspiration from the Monogatari series and their New Wave inspired way of editing. An analysis by a youtube channel named RCanime discuss the editing in detail, and how the creators make the mundane seem interesting through various fast cuts, inserts, and color correction. I want to apply this same type of editing to my opening in order to communicate how interesting the mundane life of a sociopathic hitman is, hoping to communicate an underlying meaning of how Paul feels as though he is being played in his life.
