Editing

After filming our opening sequence, we had to do some editing. We had to use a vast amount of different software's to improve our film opening. Using software's such as Final Cut Pro played a major role in our editing as it done most of the job. Features such as trimming, copying, pasting, adjustments with lighting and sound where edited using Final Cut Pro. Also transitions and effects such as the muzzle flash was done using Final Cut Pro. We believe by editing our opening sequence, this emphasised the genre of our film more and help the audience have sense of the storyline in our film. Sound played a big part where we had to adjust sound levels and make sure they flow when moving to different shots. We also had to make sure that different parts of our soundtrack where played in the most appropriate scenes, which increases suspense and interest. Also, having the opportunity of editing helped us use a variety of shot techniques such as the jump cut, which we believe was a really good outcome as we thought having a long scene of our character washing himself up would be fairly boring to watch.

We used Final Cut Pro for our muzzle flash effect.

We used LiveType for the Production Logo Indent.

To create the muzzle flash, we done a bit of research on how to create one. Below is a tutorial of how to create one, and by watching this video this helped us to create our own muzzle flash using Final Cut Pro:
