Editing update #2

We had Mr Corby and Mr Benzie look at what we had done so far and we got some positive feedback. The main concern was the lack of sense it made with direction. Characters would be running one way and then another way the next. We flipped some of the clips over so it was obvious to the viewer that the characters were running in one direction. There was also some talk about the first scene where Clyde smacks Eugene across the face. We were in fear of breaching the 180° rule but with the same idea as before we just flipped over the clips needed for the shots to make sense. I also played around with suitable fonts for titles and credits. For "Fatal Error" I found the font I used for the posters because it is such an iconic font and seems to fit our gritty yet comedic theme.

 
We also got Mr Corby to take a look at our intro as he told us there was an easier way of doing what we wanted to achieve. I liked the idea of the silhouette being an eclipse of the light flare shining through the frame which. We got the effect we wanted and it was much smoother. I added a Lomo Cyan filter over the video to give it a gritty, vintage feel because it was starting to look more like a home movie and I wanted to get a colour scheme that would be different to any of the other film openings. The effect looks really good in some scenes but in others it is not so noticeable but I suppose that is down the the fact that i have spent week upon week sat tirelessly at a computer looking over the clips.
