Final Cut
Final Cut is a type of editing software that we have used to make all of our videos. These videos can range from audience interviews to our trailer and even screen casting videos that we have demonstrated on this page. We use Final Cut as the UI ( User Interface) is easy to use and the tools that are used are efficient in order to make our videos. In the above video I have shown the basic tools we have used and the techniques that we have also used.

The first tool that I have demonstrated in the video is how to collect and import clips into final cut. In the video I have taken a clip from youtube to import into final cut. An alternative way to import a clip is so import it via an SD Card and use your own footage.

Creating Our Trailer
We filmed our trailer on a Sony DSLR Camera and we achieved most of the shots by attaching he camera to a tripod for added stability . When it came to editing our trailer we used software called Final Cut Pro X on a iMac. which we learnt quickly how to use. we used final cut to colour grade our footage and create transitions in our trailer to make the trailer flow. Furthermore we used Final Cut to add and edit the sound in our trailer to make the music sound dark and create suspension in our trailer. Some of our shots were edited to speed up and slow down our shots.
Web Design and Presenting ideas
We used weebly to present our ideas and inspirations, research into the different genres and conventions. Weebly has allowed us to create a record of our progress via pictures and videos.
Producing our magazine and poster.
Both magazine and poster were created via Adobe Photoshop which is a photo editing and manipulation software. Photoshop has allowed us to build layers upon a simple image as well as manipulate colours and cut and move images. When creating our poster and magazine we found that photoshop was the best tool to use to create the magazine and poster as after thorough research and finding out that it was industry standard and used by production and marketing companies.
Poster
Our poster design is simple, using Photoshop we managed to cut out the image of the makeup and severed finger and brighten up the colours in the makeup and blood. As well as that we were able to layer our text titles and our logo.
Poster Experiment
Below is a photo of us taking the image for our poster.
Magazine Cover
For our magazine we used Rob (The clown killer) and we took numerous photos of Rob in his clown makeup holding a blood stained knife in front of a black background with a light underneath him. We then transferred the photo of rob onto the photoshop document and brightened up the light shining onto his face.
Below are some of the images we took for the magazine cover.
