Interview with Michael Harrowes

Furthermore from the previous blog 'Editing Horror' we conducted a conference on Skype to editor Michael Harrowes on some ways to improve and alter our production of an opening title sequence. We asked Michael a variety of questions in which he responded with some useful advice which will we will be taking into consideration when editing our title sequence. We have filmed the conference call which was lead by a member of our production team who informed Michael of the questions that we wanted to be answered, which we hope will be uploaded to our blogs in the near future. With Michaels expert knowledge of editing production sequences such as Lewis, Heist, Teachers and City of Vice, we took his advice highly seriously and tried to help improve our blogs.

The following questions included:

1. Can you name 3 key things we should aim to achieve when creating our thriller opening sequences?
2. Do you have any useful tips about what we could add to our title sequences to improve the overall quality?
3. What would you consider the most challenging aspect of editing?
4. How would you say the way editing differs when you go from editing say a comedy to a thriller?
5. How has the use of foley enhanced the quality of your films?
6. How using editing alone can you increase the intensity of a film/sequence?
7. Can you tell us about the importance pace and rhythm wave on a film?
8. How closely do you work with the director in a film?
9. In terms of editing how would you describe the thriller genre itself and how it should be portrayed via editing?
10. What element of the editing process do you yourself enjoy the most?
