Editing The Sequence: Part 1

Once we finished filming and made sure we had every possible shot we needed, we had to move onto editing. We decided it would be easier to place all the clips onto one user area (Lucy's) and all take turns in editing the clips so we all get a chance to contribute and play around with the clips. Once all of the clips were placed onto Lucy's user area so we could begin editing the clip with Final Cut Pro. 

When we placed the clips within Final Cut Pro, we all begun playing around with the effects, and decided that some of the effects work well with the clip, making our clip look better and adding to the mystery we are trying to create and some that didn't work so well, so they were removed and changed to others. Playing around with these effects, gave us a better idea of what we were trying to achieve with our title sequence and gave us more ideas in ways to make the clips we filmed appear better than they are with no effect.

We also encountered some lighting issues with our clips, as they appeared to be too warm looking, as they featured fiery oranges and warm browns. This wasn't too much of an issue, as there is a way to editing the look of the clips, thus making them appear to be darker. We made the oranges disappear and changed the colour to a deep blue, making it appear to be scarier and looking more like a horror genre title sequence. Also, the music was far too quiet in some shots, almost sounding like it wasn't even playing, so we again, had to change it by increasing the sound levels, making it play louder.
