This was our last minute editing of the sound that was then added to our final thriller opening on Final cut pro. We were making the sound longer for the extra titles that we added and also for the new production ident that we made.

Creating our own Production Ident

Soundtrack Pro: adding sounds

We added sounds such as 'Appear Crystal', 'Pencil Writing', 'City', 'City Park' and 'Camera Flash'.

Special effects For Opening

For are special effects we did a few sketches/scribbles and wrote diary entries on acetate to achieve the look that was on the Seven opening. 

This is the effect we where hoping to achieve from the Seven opening:

These are acetates and us recording it:

Editing process

Rough Cut of Film Opening- Feedback

Rebecca gave us feedback on our opening and told us what we needed to work on

• Intercutting titles to the rest of the film
• Change the names because you can't repeat names
• Shorten one of the clips
• Change the production company name

We also added some video filters to our titles

Rough Cut of Film Opening

'Se7en' Opening inspiration

We looked at the opening of 'Se7en' for inspiration on the title sequences and the video filters they have used. They went with the sepia effect which made the opening look older. The titles were written in lowercase and the font looked liked it was handwritten which we are going to do in our opening.

The first scene of the film has a slight sepia effect which we have tried to add in our first scene.

The main actors' names have been written in lowercase and on a black screen

This scene had a slight grainy effect which made the clip look less 'clean'

The Director's name was placed at the end of the opening

Editing Process: Rough Copy

Video of location

The Main location for our film opening is Grimaldi park which is around kings cross. Grimaldi park is the best location to film our main scenes because of the open space in the park and the eeriness of the cemetery.   

Second day of Filming

Today we went to our chosen location to film the scenes with the stalker and the victim. We were able to film today as there wasn't anything that would have interrupted our filming.
