editing process 2

After re shooting the panning, close up shot of the feet walking along the platform, we had to choose the best take and cut it down to the correct size that would fit into the previous panning shot which we felt was to stiff to use in our final cut. We then substituted this new shot with the previous one to create a more professional feel to the filming opening.

We also re shot the opening static shot of the shuffling feet, we wanted to create more of a nervous character and provide more movement in the opening shot. We took several takes of this on the platform and chose the best take to cut down the length of the opening as we felt it was too long.

we also added the titles into the opening including who the actors were in the film and which production company it is. We also decided that we wanted fades before and after the titles so that they were different to the other cuts in the film opening. However we could not do this on one of the fade outs as the clip that was before it was too short to allow this, so it had to leave it as a normal cut. Although it does cut whilst the female character is still moving so i think that it works better than a fade out as the movement implies that something is still happening whilst the titles are showing.

We also added our final music choice to the film as this was the main sound that would create the right atmosphere for our modern noir film opening. We moved the music around and decided where it would work best in the piece, we decided that using a film title to begin the music would highlight the main part of the film.

We also added the voice over this was one of the final things that we did to finish editing it. We first added the voiceover to it and the decided when each charcter would start speaking during the film. We wanted them to be fairly near the beginning as these wouold provide the background and stoeyline to the film.
