Editing and creating titles
Today we continued to edit our opening sequence and to make the most of our time we decided to split into two groups. I continued to edit, managing to cut out two minutes from our video. These parts included the dialogue at the end of the sequences we believe having minimal dialogue would add tension and give little about the character away. I also edited the flashbacks to a better standard and made them flash into colour rather than black and white, adding the 'dip to white' effect on to create the stereotypical image of a flashback.
 Whilst i was doing this Tammy and Emma started to look for copy right music and sound effects. This included a backing music sound, a door bell, a shower sound and a low toned boom sound at the end. They magaed to find suitable sounds for all of these and we were particularlly pleased with the none diegetic music which we would play over the top of the footage as it adds a lot of tension and is appropriate to the thriller genre which our opening sequence fits into. Once we had all of these sounds we put them onto a memory stick, transferred them over to our main computer and I started to add the sound into the right places.

Next we started to look at our titles and decide how we could make them look effective and fit into how we wanted the representation of the company who made the fim to look. We did this by going into 'Adobe After Effects' as this was reccomended to us to create proffessional looking titles. When brainstorming we decided that the image or gif of an eye blinking would look good with the pupil of the eye moving into a graphic match with the 'O' in TIE productions. However we soon learned that by using a gif or picture off the internet we would be marked down as it wouldn't be original and created by us. We therefore decided to take and use a picture of our friend chloes eye and confirmed that we would continue with the titles next lesson.
