An improvement that I had to make from my first attempt at my production company clip for our film opening is to make the match and flame more in the centre. At first my solution was to re-do everything, from filming to editing. However, after looking more at the original production company clip, I found a way to manipulate it to achieve this improvement.
This was done on iMovie as this is where the original footage is, and it is also easy software to use for manipulation and editing. I found that by cropping the frame, I was able to make the match and flame much more central. This makes the clip look more professional as the match is not the focal point in the centre of the frame, instead of being too far over to the left.
The audio effects were left the same as the build up and blowing sound was effective and hugely adds to the clip. Also the fade out to black transition at the end was kept the same as it gives a clean, clear finish. The aim was to keep it clearly linked with our chosen genre, however for it to also look creative and professional.
It was tricky to get the two separate parts of the clip to be in the same central position of the frame. However I overcame this by measuring the space from the 'X' in the centre of the box, to get them accurately in the middle. The frame around was left black as it allows focus to fall on the flame in the centre.
This is the final result-
