Smooth Transition
In the scene where the hooded Arthur takes his hood down, theshot switches but the line carriesover “Come on shot switch! "ouknow I#d never hurt $ou%& 'ecause we didnt have a ver$ good micaudio was a lot harder to record to agood (ualit$& Instead of having thisshot switch audio mid wa$ throughto something sounding furtherawa$, I bridged the audio from thefirst shot over to the second and got
Arthur to mouth the lines& I alsomade sure that the cut was )ust ashe took his hood down to make ita**ear like a smooth transition&

Stabili6ation
A few of the shots weren#t stableenough and made the se(uence lookun*rofessional, the shakiness wassomething that I fi5ed with thestabili6ation tab in Final Cut& +nee5am*le of this is the final shot which
is a slow 6oom on the door toem*hasise something going on behind it& This shot needed to besmooth to draw the audiencesattention to the door rather than theshakiness in the shot&

Effects
Aside from basic colourcorrection I also used thesame filters7effectsthroughout the entirese(uence& The twoeffects I used were the
letterbox effect and thecold steel effect& Theletterbo5 is used to makethe se(uence morecinematic and cold steel was used to create a better colour balance to
ever$ shot in these(uence& I customisedthese effects to m$*references then addedthem to the ever$ shot&
