The Edit

Sound Effects
The sound effects we used really helped bring our film to life. First we put a reverb/echo sound on the criminals voices. This lets the audience understand better that they are underground. We put background noise as a heartbeat. This adds to the crime genre and intensity of the film and makes you feel on edge. There is also eery, suspence music to help create the atmospheric tension. Some other sound effects used is for the fight sence and when CHip is demonstrating his karate moves. We have used comedic punch sound effects to add to the realism that they are actually fighting and the comedy.

Transitions
As the beginiung of our title sequence is very serious and intense, twe didnt want the title movments to give it away that it is actually a comedy. We used a basic trasition for our titles of just 'fade'. This makde is more sophisticated and serious rather then us using special effects

Colour correction
At the start of the the title sequence, we put a blue colour filter on the film to create the sense of coldness and also helps the audience understand its a crime film. Also, the blue could represent the coldness which is inside them. After the cops burst in, there is a yellow filter and contrast to make the film seem more 70's and comic strip like. it also makes it vibrant which is contrasting to before. This helps the audience to understand the period it is set in and the pace of the film which has now increased.


Green Screen
Green screen was very helpful for us to create comedy and change the location quicker. it also played a big part in how we created the fight scene. First, we used it to demonstrate the skills that each of the cops possess. We used it to create Chip being in the Chinese mountains and also when Dale is in different locations being undercover. We recorded each character fighting towards the camera and there reaction to being punch. By using editing we put these shots together to make it look like they are actually being hit.
