Rillington Strangler (Final Sequence)

Rillington Strangler (Final Sequence)

This is the final clip produced by Monicon Meedia for our AS-level Media coursework.

In the time we were allocated we have produced an opening sequence for a film called 'Rillington Strangler' in which we believe to have been an efficient and enjoyable manner. We have cut, chopped and sorted through over 90 minutes of footage to create this sequence (140sec). After viewing many title sequences produced by previous AS Media students we were determined to create something more original. We did this using mise en scene and other techniques. We also decided that rather than using direct dialogue and voiceovers we would extract a piece of speech from someone who actually had some sort of connection with the original case.

The story itself is based on the miscarriage of justice that took place after events prior to March 9th 1950. Timothy Evans was tried and hanged for the serial murders of his wife, daughter and six other women. He had argued that his landlord was the real culprit. It later
came to light that the crimes were committed by John Reginald Christie - the landlord of Rillington place. Evans was granted a posthumous pardon in 1966.

Please note that all technical malfunctions and drawbacks occurred after the production process was complete. The blurriness/shakiness that can be seen throughout the course of the clip was non-existent until it was uploaded to Youtube. We have tried several times to remove and re-upload the footage.
