Final cut express Slow Motion effect
Slow Motion
I have thought about many films that have used slow motion for effect. I believe this technique is used as it is able to recapture a specific moment in a film, to create suspense, romance or stress onto a specific moment. This technique could also be used in a bullet dodge scene as the Matrix used this very well, this would be used as technology was a 100% result in our questionnaire. Or a bullet chase scene, where we try to follow a bullet to its target.
I have looked once again at youtube to learn about final cut express and how to apply this technique.

Final cut express 'Gun shot' effect
Some of our questionnaire results that required films to be named well very useful. From the results I concluded that we should include some violent scenes possibly a gunshot of some sort. This is drawn from our results as they mention that the last film they watched was "Bourne ultimatum" and that one of their favourite films was "Bourne ultimatum, "Terminator", "The dark knight" and "Taken". All these films include guns and fast paced scenes.
This is why I have begun to look at gunshot effect tutorials for final cut express so that we can appeal to our audience who are interested in a violent thriller film as well as making our film more realistic.

Final cut express 'Matrix effect'
Matrix Effect
Due to our 100% result on our questionnaire for technology I have decided to look for technological effects and technological films. My first thought was the Matrix. As I have recently been looking at final cut express I looked again onto youtube for a result. I have now found a tutorial explaining how to do the matrix fighting scene. This is useful as we may be able to use it to appeal to our audience who are interested in technology. However I am not entirely sure if this will be able to be incorporated in our film. But none the less I think it will be useful and we may be able to make something of it.

research on 'Livetype'
Livetype
As I said in one of my other posts I was going to look at 'Livetype' to see if it would help in making our film titles look more realistic. Seems like it will. It seems like a great product, I have done some research on it and have found that "It can import any standard media files and can create text tracks whose style can be meticulously specified. In the canvas, the contour that the text follows can be edited, so that the titles can be on curved or shaped paths." quotes from Wikipedia.

Additionally I have found yet another clip from youtube to aid the teams research and knowledge of the product so that we can use it effectively and quickly in the future.

Final cut express 'Mirror' image tutorial
'Mirror image' tutorial
I thought that a good mirror image effect in our film may help to create a more twisting plot as well as help us decide what genre of thriller we may pursue. The 'Mirror' effect intrigued me as it could add a split in our characters personality as well as making our film more complex.
This video has also helped with my confidence with final cut express while additionally helping me learn how to layer images together. Also through one of the comments made about the beginning of the video I now am looking at a program called 'Livetype' which comes with final cut express. This program would allows the team to create a realistic and outstanding opening credits.

Final cut express effects
Final cut express effects
First of all I wanted to know how to do the basic effects on final cut express and then I would like to learn how to do more complex effects such as the 'Sin City' effect and the 'Mirror' effect.
I decided to use youtube again as this is an easy and suitable way to learn new things to do with final cut express. I look just for a basic effects tutorial to start myself off.
Through this video I have learned how to crop and distort the image, change the position of an image as well as changing the scale and rotation of the image.
I have also realized that I have posted the 'Sin City' effects tutorial before this one, even though I have said I wanted to look at more basic stuff before more complex effects. The reason I have posted this after is due to a computer fault while uploading this post.

Final cut express Sin City effect
'Sin City' Effect
In addition to my first failures with final cut express. I was interested in creating good and believable effects to include into our film. As I am new to final cut express I resorted to www.youtube.com to give me a helping hand. Here I found many great effects we could include in our film.
When I first saw the film 'Sin city' I was amazed by the use of black and white but with the use of some colouring. This made me want to be able to make this effect possible in final cut express. Here is the link to the "Final cut express 4 tutorial- 'Sin City' effect".
This has now made it possible for me to make this effect. This also allows us as a team to make our film more interesting as well as adding emphasis onto a certain area without the use of a different soundtrack.
Here is a clip for the 'Sin City' effect with video clips.

When we first started filming I was a bit nervous about using final cut express. However I have looked at some tutorials to increase my understanding and to make editing our films much easier. I now know how to edit and view our films. As well as add effects and export videos onto www.youtube.com
