Extra Editing session 2

This editing session took place after school, with only Sam Warren and I present, as James Scott had a driving lesson and James Lawley a revision lesson.

After going down the long list of similar variations of the same font, we had almost given up, until on scrolling to the very bottom of the list, the last option was finally a suitable font that fit with the conventions of horror film opening title sequences and ethos of our film. All that we needed to do to improve the opening titles was increase the size of the font and change the colour. Sam Warren and I, made an executive decision, deciding that our titles should be two tone in colour, specifically white and red sticking to the conventions of horror film fonts. White representing hope and divinity, red representing blood and death. We also decided that because the titles were two tone the fonts should also be in two different sizes. The heading being provided would be a 55 size font and the response to the heading would be a 77 size font. The heading being in red and the response being in white, although it does vary throughout , to outline that ordinary people were behind the making of this sick twisted film, requiring them to be in the minds of sick twisted people to get ideas of horrific shots and scenes.

On finishing the selection of the fonts type, colour and style, Sam Warren and I discovered a solution to the problems we have had with continuity in regards to sound. We learned that you could dissect and divide the audio from a shot, allowing you to edit it individually from the shot itself. This meant that we could do this to the scene of dialogue between are two actors Zak and George or their characters Max and James, and then copy and paste the sound file of traffic and a metro going past, throughout the rest of the shot reverse shots of the dialogue, to maintain continuity and lower the ambient sound minutely so that the audience can still hear the dialogue.

To exacerbate the meeting of the victim and the antagonist, I thought it would be a good idea to insert a low pitched, slow, momentary drumming sound splitting up the two different non-diegetic music pieces, making the change of pace in the title sequence clear and startling to the audience. Unfortunately, after searching the internet for a around 20 minutes or so, we could not find any royalty free drumming sound clips, the met the requirements I set in my head and did not accurately fit the shot, and adding any of them would have been detrimental to the success of the title sequence.

We have almost finished our title sequence now, but there is still one aspect James Lawley has created that we are going to add the the end of the title sequence.
