Finally!

  Our editing process has come to a close! Finally, we have finished our product. Along the way we had to decide on minor details like fonts, film template, and soundtracks. We found one specific template to use for our credit slides on this website. Here, we found a free template that added texture and light leaks to our credits. It was okay to use because in their terms and conditions, it stated the following:

According to their terms and terms and conditions, we could use the following template for our project 

We were especially inspired to use short clips and film textures from the show, American Horror Story. Here's where we were inspired to do a similar style in our very own film introduction. 

    As shown above, throughout the show's them opening, especially on the credit clips, there was a flicker or texture shown on the actor's name. We thought this would look great on our very own film project since both are similar genres. However, we knew we didn't have the software to create our own film texture, therefore we searched for free ones for personal use. All in all, we kept our introduction pretty simple. Although we wanted to add the video's original sound, the realized the microphone of the camera wasn't the best. But, in the end, the music came out great along with the footage. Lastly, toward the end of the introduction, we decided to start focusing on smaller details like the flashlights that Carlos used or the extreme close up shot of Gabriel using his phone to track down his social media. Overall, every small detail and decision that we have documented here all played a major role in the final product!
