AS MEDIA STUDIES REFLECTION : POST PRODUCTION

TITLES AND CREDITS:

In "unmasked" we were able to use Final Cut Pro more efficiently, particularly with our titles. You can see our progression from our preliminary. We were now able to put our title onto our opening sequence rather than just a black screen, making it look a lot more professional.

Preliminary Vs Final Product:

In out preliminary task we were were pushed for time on editing meaning we were restricted to what we could do with our footage. 
Whereas for our thriller opening we were given a lot more time and were a lot more used to using Final Cut Pro meaning we could edit continuity aspects such as match on action much smoother allowing real events to appear as if they were happening in real time; creating a sense of verisimilitude. Below i have inserted clips to show this.

Due to there only being one protagonist at a time on screen in our thriller opening we did not demonstrate the '360 degree rule' or 'shot reverse shot'.

In terms of editing there is also a clear difference in our credits. Our preliminary tasks credits are against a black background and appear in an armature font and transition. However from research we found that a black background was not typically used in thriller openings and more simplistic fonts and transitions are usually used so we incorporated this into our thriller opening which is demonstrated below.
