Production Company Practical

 

• The original video was filmed by Jake using a type writer he owns.
• We decided as a group to use the name 'Fright Films' as it has catchy alliteration and is also short and appropriate for genre.
• Jake gave us the video, and we cut the clip so it was 5 seconds long and less shaky.

• We then sped up the clip x2 so it was then 2.5 seconds long.
• We trialled many different sounds that had a spooky edge to compliment the clip.
• We decided on two different sounds which we layered on top of each other, after lowering the volume of the original clip.

This is an initial result.

  After having a lesson in Final Cut pro with Jack, we managed to re-do our production company sequence with a better speed and then edited it further in iMovie, here are the results:   Final cut pro:

This is how we changed the speed, instead of only have x2, there was an option to drag the speed so we slightly increased it.

On iMovie, we re-added the sound.

Evaluation

Overall we are pleased with the finished product as it looks professional. To start with we had trouble mastering the technical side of iMovie as we had few skills but we have managed to develop them in order to prepare us for when we come to edit the rest of our opening. Perhaps if iMovie allowed different speed levels below x2 we would be happier with the result as we wanted it to be slightly slower for effect, but still faster than the original. We could have also played around with more visual effects to add to the clip but at the same time we did not want to decrease the quality.

Then using Final Cut Pro, we managed to solve this speed problem and then go back to iMovie to re-add the sounds.
