The document discusses the film editing and production techniques used to create a horror genre film. The team used Final Cut Pro to add effects like changing saturation and brightness levels to scenes. They also had to do more complex edits for some scenes, like mirroring. Font style, size, and screen transitions were carefully chosen to make text noticeable but not distracting. Text was made to fade in and fade out over 3.7 seconds to allow viewers time to read it. Sound design proved difficult as finding appropriate music to fit each scene and the genre was challenging. Special care was taken to sync clock ticking sounds with the visuals.

1. We neededtoaddaffectsto our piece in order for
it to look more affective and fit the look of the
horror genre. We did this by using Final Cut pro.
For many scenes we just changed the saturation
and brightness however for others we had to use
more edits such as the mirroring scene.
We neededtothinkabout the fonttouse,the size of it and
how it wouldtransition on screen. We chose a simple font
inthe colourwhite andkeptthe sizingvery simple in order
for it to be noticeable however not take too much
attention away from what was on screen.
We needed to know how the text would
transition from screen to screen and how
longit wouldappearfor.We decidedto have
it fade in and fade out of every scene and to
last for about 3.7 seconds. This gave the
viewer’s the opportunity to see what was
visible tothem.We foundthistaskfairlyeasy
as we had already understood what we
wanted the text to look like.
Sound was something which caused a
few problems for us making this a fairly
difficulttask.We were unable tofindthe
righttype of musicwe wantedto fit each
scene and to go with our genre. In
certain parts such as the clock we had to
ensure the ticking went with the sound
therefore making it a big and difficult
task to perform.
