My production company sequence is called 'Trigpoint Productions'. I got the photo at the top of the mountain in Northern Ireland called Slieve Donard. I took a lot of photos and videos of the landscape on the way up and back down, but I thought the peak had the best view of an eerie expanse of the sea which would be the most effective. 'Trigpoint' is what is at the top of any mountain to mark the peak, so I thought that would be a good name.
Editing
Using Final Cut Pro, I added a filter to the picture to make it look darker, put the production company title in the centre, and got a sound effect of sea waves from youtube and made it into an audio track so I could crop it into the right amount of time.
Using an effect of 'fade to colour' I was able to make the intro fade from black into the picture, and at the end fade to black again while the sound slowly faded out.
The sound were free noises from YouTube of waves that are crashing against rocks. I used this as it seems like they're crashing against the mountain I took the picture on.
Advantages:
- it was a simple clip to make
- editing was fast
- it was easy to figure out how to edit the photo and include the sound effect, fade in / out, and the title
Disadvantages:
- there could have been more effort put into the photo, for example photoshopping something like lightning or rain
- the title could have had a better font or one that stood out more to show the genre of our film more
- the sound could have been eerier, for example using thunder and rain would've been more effective
