Editing

After shooting all of our sequence we uploaded the film to our computer. We used Final Cut Express to edit our thriller opening sequence. We had 14 minutes of filming and this needed to be cut down and edited to up to 2 minutes of footage. This meant we had to select the shots that were of good quality and appropriate to the genre. This took a lot of time as shots not only had to be chosen but also cut down and filtered to have a good outcome.
We used the River Rock Studios Day for Night filter and colour correction to change our shots from daylight to a false night time effect. This proved quite difficult as the colour correction filters duplicated when were copied aspects of a shots to another shot. This took a lot of time in our editing lessons.
The titles were created by hand and then captured on camera. These were then uploaded and edited in Photoshop were the backgrounds were made transparent. These were then added to our final thriller opening sequence. We are very pleased with our final outcome, and have learnt a lot from the experience.
