After receiving feedback from peers and teachers, we noticed that most of the feedback suggested the same thing. The lighting was too bright. As we couldn't refilm out footage, we decided to play around with the clips on Final Cut Pro in order to darken them up a little to fit the genre better.
We took our already edited footage and selected an individual clip. The first thing we did was desaturate the clips. This made the footage less colourful and more dull. From our research we noticed that most horror films are not brightly coloured and exciting. I then did this for all of the clips within our opening.
Following this, I felt the need to darken the clip itself as opposed with playing around with the colour intensity. This meant that I was able to change the contrast of the shadows, mid-tones and highlights to fit the contrast that I want to achieve. The main area I had to darken was the highlights due to the fact that our clips had many very bright points within the sequence.
Here is the final edit with all of the lighting changes:
