Account of Editing part 2

Our main task was to first gather everyone together so that we could collaborate our knowledge and ideas to create a fairly contributed film. We started off by adding a red hue to all shots outside, to emphasise the tension and dark reality it is present in, being the dark and isolated location. Next we placed all the shots we had on a timeline and cut together each scene so that a story could be easily seen and enjoyed which made it easier to edit since only small edits had to be made for great effect. We added some quick cuts by shortening the length of some of the clips and we added the fast car shots next to each other to give the film a fast pace at the beginning. This was in order to emit a foreshadowing tone to the audience, and to entice them into watching as the slight notion that there is action soon intrigues the audience.

The next step was to add sound effects. These were obtained through certain sources and we added them to give an ambient feel to the film allowing the viewer to become immersed in the film and excited by this fictional world. We also added a gun shot sound effect and a muzzle flash visual effect onto the gun shot, shot, which allowed the gunshot to look realistic rather than a visible shake which came out bad.

One problem with some of the footage was that some of the orange on the prop gun was seen on screen, therefore we cut out the bit where it showed the orange part and placed the same scene in a different shot so that it was not visible or even noticeable.

To create the title sequences we used final cut pro x which allowed us to tamper with several different factory title animations and therefore we created our own unique title animations.
