More editing progress

Having firstly organised all our footage in the right order for it it make sense and have a clear narrative, Jess and Bronte spent today's lesson having a look of previews of different types of effects on Final Cut that could be used in our footage to make it more conventional to a thriller, more advanced and interesting to the audience. We skimmed through the different types of effects that we could use to assess which ones were suitable for our thriller opening. In the end we used an effect called unsharpen mask in which we put on parts of our footage when you see Lewis's face. This effect caused the light to be more radiant and sharper to create a sutle effect. Where the light was on Lewis's face it showed lots of light areas, whereas on the other side it was really dark, giving a mysterious approach and subtly suggesting a spilt personality in Lewis's character.

In addition, Jess found some effects that changed the appearance of the footage, such as an effect called Light rays which we added when you begin to see Lewis walking down the street, we thought this added a fascinating feature to our footage that showed the scene change from the first half to the scene on the street. We also added an effect called Bloom which made the light that appears on in our footage, such as: Street lights, shop windows etc more vibrant and stand out more. A transition that we added several times was called cross dissolve which was a simple fade to make our work flow gently and gradually, rather than it be sudden and not work well with the footage. Overall, today's lesson we got quite a lot done and had a productive lesson.
