Making of Film Sequence in Final Cut:

1. I used the chroma key in Final Cut to recreate the sin city effect. The top part of the chroma key allows you to select the colours which are going to taken away. Other options allow to select a very specific range of the spectrum. When the colour is chosen the invert key swaps the selection and keep the colours which have been selected.

2. We also had to use the colour correction to make our footage black & white by reducing the saturation and increasing the saturation in the shots where colour is present.

3. To make the effect seen in this image i used the Luma key which works similarly to the chroma key. This allowed us to present our logo in our sequence in the shape of the moving smoke.

4. When working with the sounds I had to reduce the levels at point of narrative, this enhanced the narrative. I used cross fades so that the audience do not notice the transitions.

5. The timeline is where most of the editing happens; small thumbnails show the short clips of video, by placing them one after the other the video is made. Sometimes more than one track have to be used when using effects which overlay footage.
