Josh's Final Word

Stroke Final Cut

Group 36 is proud to present the final cut of our Thriller opening, Stroke!

Issues we've faced

Unfortunately, earlier this week our hard drive failed and we lost the majority of our work. However, we managed to salvage enough work to remake what had been deleted. This has set us back by several days, but we are confident we can still make the deadline. It is frustrating but we will not let it get us down!

Editing Research Sin City Effect Tutorial

This effect was chosen as the thriller opening we are making is about an artist, the artistic approach of black and white and exaggerating the red was done in order to convey the nature of the film.  (A serial killer artist)

Feedback for rough cut

This is the feedback from Mary:

Josh's View

We have also been advised to consider removing the wide angle shots of 'reality' to avoid breaking the mystery. We have taken this on board and will test it in the following workshop.

Adding Credits

Font Choice

Here are the fonts we've chosen to write our credits in.

Editing Sound

We added the music we wanted to our opening in Final Cut Pro

We felt the track was too fast for our liking, so we decided to slow it down

35% of it's original speed worked most successfully for us

Editing Process: Colour Correction

We used the three-way colour corrector to pick out the red and to saturate the background

This is the unedited shot

This is when we saturated the red

This is when we inversed the colours giving a Sin City effect

Editing a person

As you can see, it is difficult to pick out red tones without getting some of the skin tone. We got around this by deselecting the red tones in the face.
