Editing the final piece has been a roller-coaster, making the effects work with the shots were quite a challenge. After the first two drafts we had to be extremely creative with the way we contained the interest and tension for the audience.
The clear changes from this final draft and the 2nd draft is that we put more special effect that suggest that the characters are being watched. We've tried as a group to make sure that the colour pallet is clearer and more visible for the audience. Using Sony Vegas which (a form of final cut express but not on a Apple Mac) enabled use to create this was much more efficient than using the Apple Mac, it gave us a more better understanding on how to use the software whereas Final Cut Express can be misleading. It's gave us great transitions and great effects as well. However the speed of the rendering is far better on a Apple Mac. So Sony Vegas lacked the speed which made it more time consuming.
The sound is much better and connotes a better picture to the audience it allows the audience to think more and question the opening sequence a lot more.
This is our Final Opening sequence, and I'm extremely pleased with it, so I hope you enjoy it.
