Our final opening title sequence edit

 

Fifth hour of editing

 

Today we fixed all the rough edits and made them all as smooth as possible. We then watched our sequence through multiple times to make sure everything was as smooth as possible. After making sure the whole sequence ran smoothly we began to add in the titles. We used a dramatic thin font in block capitals with a fade out from every title to correlate to our thriller and suspenseful genre. We usually added in the titles in the empty dark spaces. For example, the first few edits come around the television in the blank space so the viewers can clearly read them without getting distracted. When we finished all of our titles we watched the sequence through again and again to make sure everything was the best it could be. After changes some minor edits as we had some spare time we all agreed that we were finished and that our sequence was the best it could be. I am extremely happy with how the editing process went as we all worked extremely well with managing our time and we all had an equal amount of time editing. 

Fourth hour of editing

 We discussed after our last session that in this hour we would begin to fix and match up all of the audio to all of the clips. We began by changing the volume of some clips and the volume differed throughout the sequence. When the volume was constant throughout the sequence we began searching for some audio clips to use for the gun mechanical noises. We also found a sample sound of a van engine starting up which we used at the end of the sequence to match the clip of the van driving away. We swapped roles sorting the volume at the beginning of the session however when it came to the sample sounds Fin felt he was the best at finding them as he has had experience editing prior to this.
