Screen shots of using Final Cut Pro

The first step of the editing process was to import all the scenes we had shot, to do this we attached the camera and imported all the clips; we made sure any important clips were named so they became easily accessible if we needed to use them. 



Our next step in the editing sequence was putting the clips we needed on a time line, to do this we simply dragged which ever clips we needed onto the timeline (from the previous screen shot where we named all the clips originally).


Now we began cutting the different things we had filmed into smaller chunks so they could all start being arranged in a way which enabled us to continue on and edit them further. 


Throughout the sequence we used fade in's and fade out's, this added a good effect to the title sequence because the filming flows and doesn't look as harsh as it would if the shots were to come straight in after each other.


This is the production logo I designed, as a group we thought this was our best option as it fitted in well with the sequence and was just bold enough for it to be noticed rather than take over the whole screen. The production logo is followed by a title which follows the same colour scheme. 


This is where we started making the text jump to give it a jumbled look. We thought this added depth to our title sequence because it was very deranged like our main character. 



Next we added music to the sequence, myself and Sarah spent a long time searching for a suitable soundtrack that went with the genre of the film- without it being predictable or giving too much away within the first few minutes of the film. As a group we decided on the final choice of music and we thought it worked very well with the narrative; the music itself flowed well with the different climax's in the sequence . 


This is our final title sequence, as a group we are extremely impressed at the final product it reached all of our previous expectations. The music, the setting, the filming and the editing itself all came together at the last stage and made the title sequence look really good.
