The second week into filming was predominantly spent viewing and editing our footage that we had filmed the previous week on final cut express. By the end of the week all of the shots we had filmed were edited and we had figured out what other shots needed to be filmed in order to complete our opening sequence.
The editing of footage process proved to be rather time consuming as there is so many different editing options that you can play around with, but you still have to find the right techniques which go with the genre of the opening sequence, for example our film is a Thriller so everything had to be on a more serious note for it to suit the genre, such as the digetic and non-digetic sound which was chosen.
As a group i felt that we coped with doing the editing well, bearing in mind that we had no real experience of the software. There was alot of playing around with the shots in the first few times we edited, but this has proved to be very useful at it allowed us to fine tune the shots we were defiantly going to put in our opening sequence, therefore making them look more professional.
We had some good footage which we were going to include, however it was not enough for a two minute opening sequence so it was imperative that we went out and filmed some more footage. At times as a group we did struggle for ideas as to what to film if shots we did didn't turn out as good as we anticipated. This wasn't really that much of a big deal but it did take up some of our time, being stuck for ideas during filming was something we had actually expected to happen however.
The editing stage went well and it was productive, at this stage i would say that our film opening sequence is coming along well as it's looking rather professional. We have generally managed our time well, the only minor problem we had was not knowing what to do next in terms of what shots to film. But this can be easily resolved.
