After struggling to understand the software when editing my preliminary task, I managed to learn how to use it properly to create a visually compelling piece of film. With the editing of a film being a huge part of wether it is a good film or not, I felt it was key for me to use Final Cut Pro to edit my media piece, Chasing The Lost.
Final cut pro allow for so much more editorial improvements than iMovie and most other editing programmes.
I adjusted the colour to a more faded affect, as it suited the indie - thriller theme more than brighter colours. I reduced the exposure and de-saturated the image to do this.
Above shows when I adjusted the colour effects on the 'eye zoom' shots, I really wanted this to look professional because it is a important part of my opening sequence.
I also used final cut pro to add my titles. I used a 'typewriter' effect when they appeared on screen. I received amazing feedback from doing this.
