Today i continued editing the title sequence, i looked at the ending and tried to work out how i could make it tie in more with the sequence, i decided to use a old clip that we shot up London and altered the speed of it from 100% to 800%, this makes it appear as though the impact of the bus hitting the male character is quick. I have yet to add sound effects of the crash and also change the colour of this shot to black and white.
This is the feedback we received from other class members after showing the first cut of our title sequence, the feedback informs us on what we need to change, add and improve on also what they liked about our title sequence . Furthermore a rating on our title sequence.

Today i went back to continue editing. However when logging onto the MAC's due to them having to be reset all of our title sequence had been wiped, however one of the technicians managed to get back some of the files, but unfortunately they was all muddled up in the wrong order and some of the clips had become un-useable. Therefore fortunately we had saved the exported first cut of our title sequence, to a memory stick and are able to use this to edit to finish our final piece, although this means that certain things in the sequence cannot be edited for example the titles. However we were able to edit the sequence, using magic bullet pro, adding a black and white effect to the scenes the male character is present in.
On Wednesday, i am going to edit the ending of the title sequence.
So far this is how far i have got in the editing process for the ending of the title sequence, although there is still work to be completed on this, which i will continue to do on Magic bullet pro. Using magic bullet pro i will change the filter on the sequence, so they match or even as suggested before from our feedback convert them into black and white shots.

This is a preliminary cut of our title sequence. From this changes still have to made, such as using Magic Bullet pro in order to change the effects of some of the shots to black and white when the male character is present. Furthermore it has to be rendered and exported.
Following a screening of our title sequence to our fellow class members we received some positive feedback on our title sequence along with some suggestions of improvements that could be made. Taking these suggestions on board i am now going to continue editing the title sequence to make these slight adjustments.
One piece of feedback we received was that we could change the colour of the shots where the male character is present to black and white, leaving the scenes where the female character present colourful, especially focusing on the pink bag prop, which acts alike in "How i met your mother" (the yellow umbrella) which indicates that she is going to be the main love interest. Furthermore by making these scenes black and white it suggests that the scenes where the female character appears, that she brings colour to his dull life.
Moreover, some of the scenes could be shortened down in order to pace up the title sequence.
Positive feedback that we have received was that everyone enjoyed the split screens, adding to the Rom-com genre. They also enjoyed the colours that was also used on these split screens.
When it came to ending of the title sequence we all agreed that we was not happy with it therefore, i have gone back to the editing stage and trying to find alternatives in order to improve it.

Today i continued editing the title sequence, furthermore updating my blog. In addition to this i have also continued on my evaluation answering the questions present. I am doing this in a essay type format. I also moved around some of the opening titles making them larger also fitting them in the correct places that we want them to appear. Moreover, we also added in the title making this larger and more centre than before, in order to make it stand out more.
