This is my Park High Horror opening. Me and my work group have worked very hard on the camera shots/ angles and final cut pro editing to create this opening. We made sure we included a vast range of shots and angles e.g.
  • Medium shots
  • Long shots (establishing)
  • Close-up shot
  • Extreme close-up shot
  • Low angle
  • Eye level angle
Once we put all the recorded video clips together we did a final edit on final cut pro. I managed to play about with the colour to give it a gloomy black & white feel to it. I did this to match the genre and to bring it out within the opening of my Park High Horror.








This is a print screen of me editing my 'Park High Horror' intro. In this image it shows the edit of colours. In most of my clips I made sure they're all saturated; I did this to give a gloomy feel to the video allowing it to match the genre 'horror'.





In this print screen it shows me editing the speed of a video clip. I slowed down two clips by 50% allowing it to become slow motion. I did this to add affect to the clips and to build fear within the audience; by slowing it down it creates awareness of the video clip allowing more concentration from the audience in the specific clips.

An example of where I slowed down the clip is at 1:06. This was slowed down to build tension with my character opening the door making the viewers more alert


In this print screen it shows an edit I did known to be a over lapping fade  I put one clip over another so both are played at the same time yet the second clip fades in on top of it. Both clips are still clear to see despite them both being played at once. I did this to add affect on the audience making question 'What was that?' and to make them realise the importance as it only stays on the screen for a short time. This indicates that it's important to the video and needs to be remembered.






I feel me and my group did very well on our work especially with the final cut pro editing. It has taught me a lot about colour changing and adding on small effects that have such a huge impact. I'm going to remember these skills I've learnt and use them in any future recordings we do.
