In the 'Export As...' window I chose the export setting to be 'Send To QT Movie.'

I then chose options to go further in depth to the export settings. In the new window I changed the Width x Height to be 1920 x 1080, left the colour levels to be 601/709 and changed the Display Aspect Ratio to be 16:9 square pixel. 

In this window I also chose format options which took me to the Movie Settings window. 

Under video settings I changed the compression and resolution types as seen below. I also changed the Frame Rate to 25 fps. 

Finalised settings

After this I went back to the original 'Export As...' window and clicked save.

I created a 'New Title,' as shown before, in order to fill out the information on the clock clip. 

Then to find the bars, I right clicked in the 'Clocks and Bars' bin and chose import. The in the import menu I went to my applications > Avid > Supporting Files > Test Patterns > HD_1080 and chose the file SMPTE_Bars.tiff. After this I selected 'open' and this imported the bars into the bin. 

Next I had to create a tone for the bars. I did this by going to Tool > Audio Tool. 

Audio Tool

I selected PH > Create Tone Media, allowing the Create Tone Media menu to pop up. I set the tone media level to -18dB and saved it to the 'Clocks and Bars' bin. 

The bin looked as follows :

To make room on the timeline at the beginning to add the clocks and bars, I went to Clip > Add Filler at Start.

I then placed the bars for 10 seconds using in and out markers at the beginning, followed by the clock aligned with the title I had created for it, leaving a few second space of filler between the clock and the beginning of Silent Woods. 

I also used this technique, but as a dissolve instead of a fade, between the ending shot of the actors and the ending shot of the car driving off before the credits. 

Then I created credits for the edit, by going back into 'New Title' and typing my name. I chose a similar yellow to the title sequence for the text's colour. Even though there's only me as editor for this I decided to use rolling credits for the purpose of this exercise to show I know how to create them! Once the credits were done I selected the 'Roll' button at the bottom of the window.

With my the playhead over the clip I wanted to put the title over, I went to Clip .> New title. 

In the New Title window, with the text tool selected I typed 'Silent Woods.'

Next I used the Selection Tool to allow me to move the text around the screen, placing it in the top right hand corner. 

Selection Tool enabled

To change the colour of the text from white, I selected the Fill.

I wanted a colour to fit with the colour of the blurred lights seen in the background video. I selected this tool that allows you to grab the colour off of an object in the video, and used it to click on one of the lights giving me the same colour. 

Final title - colour matches one of the lights on left side

To save the title, I exited out of the window and selected save. The Save Title menu popped up, allowing me to rename it and chose a bin to save it in. 

At this point I didn't have a bin to store the titles, so I saved it initially in the 'Silent Woods Sequences' bin and immediately created a new bin called 'Titles and Credits' which I moved it too. 

I created a new video track, V3, using Cmd-Y, and placed the title on to it, above the title video. 

Timeline with title

To begin with I used the blank video track, V2, which was above V1 which I had used my clips on. Alternatively if a black track was not already there I could have went to Clip > New Video Track or with the timeline selected used Cmd-Y. 

Then opening the Effect Palette under the menu Tools, I went to Image > Color Correction. I dragged this color correction tool on to the track creating an active filler. This would then allows me to make colour correction changes to all the footage at once, as most of it didn't require too much work as the colour seemed to flow pretty smoothly.

I then enabled color correction mode by selecting this button at the side of the timeline.

I arranged the windows in a suitable way for me to work and saved it.

I was then able to tweak around with the colour correction until I was happy with the look. 

Workspace for colour correction

However certain clips in the edit, didn't fit in with the rest colour wise and had to be treated separately. With the clip selected on the timeline, I opened the colour correction workspace and then edited the curves until I felt it matched with the clips before and after it.

Final version

There were quite a few 'tick' sounds between cuts, where the sound didm;t exactly match up. To make these go away and therefore make the cuts flow smoother I used the 'Quick Transition' tool.

The Quick Transition Symbol

This brings up a menu which allows you to select what transition you want and change the duration that the transition lasts for over both clips. I chose dissolve in order to blend the sounds from both clips together to make a smooth transition. To make sure the transition didn't apply to the video tracks as well, I disasbled V1 and V2, allowing only A1 and A2 to be effected. 

I used this on a lot of the cuts, varying the duration on each. This was the result as seen from the timeline. 

Audio tracks on timeline

To apply different effects and change the levels so that none went above -12dB, I went into the Audio Mixer by going Tools > Audio Mixer. 

To add an effect I right clicked in the black spaces and then went to Audio Track Effects. I played around with this on the different tracks to try and get the right sound.
