Editing the Thriller - Titles and Refining the Cut

Editing the Thriller...

Having completed the first draft of the sequence, I had two major visual issues to solve; to shorten the length of the sequence and to add the titles of the people involved. The first problem wasn't too hard to fix. I simply got rid of some more stair-climbing shots as they quickly got repetitive on watching through the sequence. The only other change I made was to the ending. Beforehand the ending was the woman getting in the car and only seeing the body in the next car along. However now the ending includes seeing a gun in her car, insinuating that she's been framed.



The titles were also fairly easy to do. Nothing was too complicated, all I had to do was drag and drop the title clips over the top of the sequence, just as you would do with a video, and then using the title window, move the text where ever I wanted it. Using the side bar it was easy enough to change fonts and their sizes also. I ended up placing and removing the titles as the woman walked through the shot, so not to distract either from each other.
