Creating titling sequence

This is a screen shot of the programme LiveType which was i what i used to create the titling for our thriller 'The Stalker'. I took full advantage of this programme as i used the effects and style, size and positioning of writing font so that it is suitable for the theme of our thriller. As you can see in the screen shot above there are side bars with drop down lists to pick what type of effect you want your titling to have which i used as a chose the most effective one suitable to the theme for our thriller. In the screen shot above you are able to see two lines which are yellow and purple, by using my mouse to drag the end of the lines i was able to change the duration and the pace of the effect for the titling which i changed as i made the lines longer resulting in the titling appearing much slower which is effective as it gives the audience times to process the written words and see them clearly, it also contributes in building up tension. I made sure that i kept this effect and font consistent with all the titling, the only thing changed was the size as i made the title of the thriller 'The Stalker' slightly bigger than the rest of the titling. This is to keep the titling simple, organised and flow throughout the footage also if the effects and fonts were different it would draw too much attention which is not needed as the actual footage is the main focus not titling.

Remember to use LiveType and try to make titles interesting. They can be either over black or superimposed over your film. Space them out over the two minutes of the film.Give the audience plenty of time to read the titles. 
(12) Finish with a fade out & fade music out

Editing

This is a screen shot of the editing for our final thriller which was done on the program Final Cut Express. For this being my first attempt in editing i would say a substantially good amount of editing progress has been made as i have managed to place the footage's recorded in an organised order and erased some of the unwanted parts. I also used the 'Effects' option at the top of the page to fade in and fade out some of the clips in order for it to flow    

Rough Cut

Because of the better weather me and group went filming on sunday and managed to get some of the shots which we could potentially use for our overall footage. This filming time we had was very usedul as we managed to get around half of our footage filmed which we need some editing improvements which we will immedatly attend to in our lesson on Monday. With the success of some of the footages we managed to film there were also some improvents which we could have made during our fimling session. With some of the footages the camrea is not very steady which can be seen in parts throughout our footage, ths will need to be improved and cut out otherwise it would make our overall footage look unprofessional which we will make sure not to do during our next filing session. Another improvem,ent we will need to take is the aspect of the lighting, this needs to be brighter at some pionts in the footage which we will also ensure to improve in our next filing session otherwise peopkle would stuggle to see our footage and would also cut out the parically blind audience. A further improvement we would need to make is adjustment of the background noises as tey do not correspond with the footage and is unwanted. However this can easily be dealt with when we are editing as we can simple mute the  unwanted noises. Overall our filming session was a sucess as we have managed to film part of our thriller and will only need some editing and adjustments.
