Yesterday I carried on with editing my footage. I shortened some of the clips even more because my footage all together lasted a bout 2 minutes 18 seconds and that’s without the titles! I went onto LiveType to make my titles.

My original idea was to have a simple white font on a black background. I used the font Papyrus for my titles because it was fairly simple yet looked effective in the way that it looked like titles you would see in a horror movie. I decided to add transitions on it in Final Cut Express so that it faded out. I chose to do this because it looked effective and when I was analysing opening sequences to horror movies I noticed that a lot of the titles used faded out simply like the ones I have done. My original plan was to put my soundtrack on but yesterday I was having a lot of trouble with opening up Final Cut Express and when I finally got it to work I didn’t have much time left. But I am happy with how far I have got with editing. (:
