We are nearing the end of the editing process for out title sequence now, but just have a few more finishing touches to add. Firstly, James Lawley began by importing a royalty free "viewer discretion is advised" sound file and image of text to accompany this on the recommendation of myself to warn the audience of the inappropriate content that horror films contain. After it was finished importing, we added it on to the very beginning of our title sequence before anything occurs, along with the soundtrack of the man saying 'Viewer discretion is advised' what appears, of which we had to match the audio so that it played exactly halfway through the shots play time.
Once we had finished with that we noticed that some of the sound files were overlapping, which could cause some confusion the audience members watching and so we went through the entire title sequence trimming the sound files down, editing them individually so that when they stopped it was gradual and not instantaneous, as well as making sure that the ticking changed at the most opportune moments to increase the effectiveness. For the rest of this session it was mostly just sound editing, how loud certain sounds were in comparison to other. For example, to begin with the ticking sound should be somewhat inaudible, whereas the non-diegetic music should take priority, later balancing themselves out. The speed of the ticking was also important to show the gradual escalation of the cloaked figures actions.
