First Rough Cut

After I had converted all my clips to MOV files and imported them in to Final Cut Express I was then ready to begin with editing. For my first draft I selected the clips I wanted and transferred them on to the tome line. At this stage I hadn't given much thought on special effects, such as sound effects or transitions. I just simply put my shots in chronological order along with my sound over the top which I found off YouTube and my inter-titles I had made using the LiveType programme. Personally, I chose the font named 'Cracked' which was white on a black background to make it easily readable for my audience.

I have made the shots quite long and slow at the beginning to increase tension and a dramatic atmosphere, which then sped up to grab the audiences attention. I did this by creating a variety of shots from extreme close ups to long shots.
