During the filming process, we found that we had more room to perform the diverse range of shots and angles that we have included in our storyboards. We found that we kept more to our filming schedule and no arguments were generated unlike the previous filming attempts.
After we felt we had successfully flmed all the shots we planned to film, we uploaded our footage on to the Mac computers for editing. After a quick analysis of the general quality of the footage we could already tell that the images were much clearer and of better standard compared to our previous attempts on the last filming session. This was mainly due to the fact that we were filming indoors and had access to artificial lighting.
We began to piece together and select the clips that we wanted to include in our opening. We found it difficult to choose between clips that were taken two or three times which looked very similar but we usually came to a mutual decision on which was the best.
The clips quickly began to flow together as we added music to the background. We had to find a piece of music on the internet which was free to use and not copy righted. It took us a while to precisely trim the beginnings and ends off of clips and scene that were unnecessary but once we completed that we went on to the titles.
After our initial storyboard planning we already had a good idea of where we wanted our titles to go. The hardest bit of the editing process, I felt, was choosing the fonts, transitions and positions for titles as this is the opening sequence the title specifics are an important part of each scene.
We decided to use "New Line Cinema" as our main production company, this was because during our research we found that a lot of thrillers or similar films to our plot had been created by New Line Cinema. It also made our opening look more professional and realistic.
