This is the third part of four 'editing stages' that I made for myself, at this point we needed to add visual effects such as the opening credits and any colour correction we want.
An example of colour correction that I at least tried to do was to when we had some footage with a window in the background which unfortunately lit the entire shot. This ruined continuity so it needed to be fixed. After experimenting with the premiere software I managed to get a satisfying result however I still don't feel completely happy with it because there is still a noticeable difference. due to a lack of time however we had to accept this. Instead I then thought to try and find an alternate piece of footage to use here. You can see the image above is where I had to edit the lighting.
Then I had to add any visual effects that we wanted. Which luckily for me wasn't that big of a job. All I had to do was to add the opening credits as well as the title screen to the film and then I would be almost done. This was simply done by overlaying the text in the desired font which can be seen in the above picture. We chose this one because when we looked at other Thriller films we found a trend where the font would be thin and not very eye catching. After some thought I realised that it could be reflective of a few conventions. Namely, how there is always a mystery that involves small details that are easy to miss. It is also very understated and subtle. The way that it looks as if it was written on the film also gives a sense of Film Noir.
