Opening Sequence is finished!

After added our soundtrack and exporting the whole sequence it is finally complete! We are really happy with the finished product and pleased with the way the sound is low key however effective.

Creating the soundtrack

In a lesson I had previously started to download some free sound loops to use in our soundtrack, which was helpful as I didn't find a lot I liked on garage band. In todays lesson I created the soundtrack and tried to show the contrast between the points of view; for example we used dark sound when it was the killers point of view to show he was deadly, but from the point of views of the girls we used light cheerful sound to show their innocence to the situation. Overall I are very happy with the way the soundtrack was finished and I feel it suits the genre well.

Using LiveType for titles

In today's lesson Libby and I began to plan the art of the titles for our sequence. We decided that we wanted to use two separate fonts, a typewriter style for the explanation, so it looks like military and planning E.G Date: 4/1/13 Time: 5.11pm Location: Betchworth Coordinates: 51.239566, -0.276031
We will also use a simple, neat font for the additional titles which will include our production company, our roles and our actresses names.

Colour correcting during editing

Progress update

Editing

I have now renamed all the footage on Final Cut and know which parts I will be using. I have formulated a plan of which order the footage is going to go in and have numbered the clips accordingly.
My next action will be to put the clips in this order and start to edit the clips at the specific place so that it flows.

Editing

Due to the loss of editing footage due to the school Macs being stolen, I have had to start again from fresh with all the editing. In todays lesson I had Final Cut installed to my Macbook Pro, therefore I am now able to re-start editing again. So far I have re-named all the original clips, as well as the re-shoot clips. I am now beginning to order the clips and will then start editing them properly and in detail. Throughout this, I will also be considering the type of sound or music that I will use.
