Editing

The editing went well with no major problems. We edited the shots together one by one in the order that they are on the storyboard. We experimented with a few different transitions to link the shots and effects to put onto the shots to fit the genre of film we were trying to achieve. We desaturated the action shots to make them black and white, this clearly shows that they are happening in the past, we also used a white flash for transitions to make it obvious that it is a flashback. We left the credit shots with no effects because it shows that they are in the present and everything can be seen more clearly. 
 We didn't use any sound effects as all the diagetic sounds that were needed were in the shots from when we filmed it, we did make some of the sounds coming from the shots louder like the glass smashing so that it could be heard above the other sounds in the shot. For the music we overlapped two different soundtracks from a royalty free website. 
 Then we exported the video to livetype to put the credits on. This was where the problems started. When we put the video into livetype there was no sound which meant that we would of had to put the credits on then export the video back into final cut and then try and match up the sound to the video. After a while we thought to match the credits to the video in livetype then export just the credit shots into the final cut file. Then we had the problem that when the final cut video was put into livetype the quality of the picture went down a lot so we had to do the credits in livetype, then export it as a video but without rendering the background so it went over the top of the opening in final cut.
