Using final cut pro.

So far, we learned how to use final cut pro to edit and enhance our videos. We learned about the different effects you can use for different purposes. For example, you can turn a scene into night time without having to film it at night time. This will be useful for my group because we are planning to use some dusk/evening scenes and we can just film those scenes in the daytime and edit it later using Final Cut. We were shown a tutorial video on how to use final cut. I'm interested in using some of the text effects during the opening credits, without making look to much like a happy teen/romantic/comedy film. We also looked at colouring effects, i think we will make our opening sequence slightly blue-ish to make it look cold and eery so that the viewers instantly know it's not going to be a happy teen film. Also they showed a duplicating effect which looked really cool, but it wouldn't really fit anywhere in our plot. Since our opening sequence has a lot of dialog, i don't think we will use too many effects or it will look forced. This gave me an understanding of what kind of effects there are and how to use them.
