Editing- Final section and credits.

Final Section + The End + Credits

This section is after the ripple effect to get Carter back to his office. Unlike the first section we decided not to add a voice over of the detective's thoughts and instead we thought we should stay from one camera angle and have the actor turn to face the camera, and speak his lines directly to the audience which was a nice twist. The line "This isn't over" also sets the audience wondering if there will ever be a sequel to the movie so it is a bit of a cliff hanger. To finish instead of just cutting away from the scene we thought it would be a nice twist to have the actor put his hat over the camera to finish the movie - as it has been the main symbol for the whole film. I like the effect this has made because it is unique and different. We had to cut the sound from the footage just before the hat hits the camera because it made a large noise, however we had the music on quietly for this whole section which really gives it that slightly somber edge to it.

When the picture does black out the words 'The End" come up on the screen, obviously the signify that it is the end of the movie. This was done using the text tools again and i decided to put this text in the same font and format as i had the original production text appearance (However i chose not to use the typewriter setting) - using the same white text and black background keeps the look of the film noir as it is not fancy bright colours as i do not think it would have looked very professional. The sound for the section was recorded by me using the school's wind band, as they were doing a medley of songs from Chicago which i thought would fit perfectly with the time period that our movie was suppose to be set in. I at first wanted to use the trumpet solo at the beginning however on the tape it sounded too happy for the type of film we are making. Therefore i chose to just use the end section on this part as i believe it fits nicely.

The credits are an important part to any movie, we used to same music in the credits as the (The End) section - recorded from the wind band as i think it fits in nicely. The text again is white with a black background as we wanted a pattern running through the film and it is very conventional for most films. We played around with the name order and where we wanted the actors names and the characters name to be...we chose side by side because we thought it looked the most professional. We listed all the actors involved including the extras and listed the directors/scripters/cameramen (a.k.a. me, Antonia and Toby) - then we gave thanks to the people that had helped us out, including the pub we filmed in and the departments around the school. Finally at the end I wrote "Thank you for Watching!" which i thought was nice because people who watch our movie would be really doing us a favour. :)
