Coursework- Editing (Part 5)

Today, I sat down and edited my coursework at it's final stage. Adding the credits and adding final sound effects.


The first credited actor, the famous David Harrison. Note: Most professional films don't have "starring" on it so I did not put it in. In addition, I used the pen tool to make the credits appear and disappear.


The second credited actor. I couldn't come up with a good name so I went on a name generator and found this. Note: I am using the old version of premier pro to edit this movie.


The third credited actor, an actual person who worked with me for the project. Sunsun portrays the killer doctor in this film opening. 



The forth credited actor, Cole Phelps, another creative name thought up to fill in the credits. Note: Weapons used in the film were not real, they are airsoft rifles and were un-loaded when shooting the film.



The fifth credited actor, who worked alongside me wit this project. Kelly portrays the second detective (The one with the sand colored plate carrier.) (I portray the first detective who has a black tactical vest on.) 


Another creative name thought up to fill in the credits.


More creative names to fill in the credits.


The last credited person, the director aka me. 

Alright, now the credits are over, let's talk about Fonts. Originally I was going to use "Strangers In The Night Font" (Note: I did not put the song in.) The font looks like this:
However, when I tested it out I found that the font didn't really match the overall theme of the movie intro. I searched deeper onto the internet, more pages of fonts appeared on www.dafont.com which has a wide selection for different fronts. I was scrolling through when a font called "The Bad Times" caught me eye. There was something unique about the font, something oddly satisfying. When I tested it out, I found out that the font was perfect for the credits. I decided that the font matched the movie name aka Incision. The edges were different from stranger in the night, and looked sharper, like broken scissors or a scalpel. TBT font looks like this:


Enough about fonts, let's talk about sound effects. There are different sound effects I used in the film, such as police sirens or gun shot sounds. However there was on particular sound effect that was hard to come by, a "WHOOSH" sound for when the CCTV footage from the phone pops onto the screen.  There are so many WHOOSHES out there it was really hard to find a good one, however I settled with a free sound effect I found online. It was a typically WHOOSH, but lowered pitch that would match the film intro. (Note: Most of the sound in the film was captured by the camera during the process of filming)

For the muzzle flash at the end, I used a website called footage.productioncrate.com which provided me with royalty free, pre-keyed effects. The end result was brilliant.
