Editing: Opening of our film

Progress on FinalCutExpress 27/02/14

So far this week Indya, Katy and have nearly finished creating the first part of our film opening where the opening titles come in. We were just about to finish putting the music into what we've completed so far before we ran out of time. It's taken us about 4 hours to approximately do the first 30 seconds of the opening which shows us that we really need to be getting this work completed outside of school as well as inside when we have our normal lessons. It's quite a stressful and lengthy process since we all really want to make this opening as perfect as possible yet we have to make a draft first before perfecting it completely. Creating the text in LiveType has probably taken the most time out of editing. What's more, we've found that in looking back at our shots, some of them don't quite work for how we envisaged the opening so rather than sticking to the storyboard we have been using some of the extra shots we made on the day of filming. Also we've added different edits to the ones identified on the storyboard because we think they make the opening look more interesting. In terms of improvements, i think there's a lot that can be improved on but since this w are making a draft of the opening it doesn't really matter too much.
