Editing Our Opening Sequence

When we went into the editing suit, Matt had already uploaded our footage to the computer we would be working on while editing them. They were uploaded from the SD card on to the editing software Premiere Pro. After logging in, we went and sorted out all of our footage into log bins and then separated into what we were and weren't going to use.

When we figured that out we then separated them into the locations that we shot them in. This was helpful as we weren't going to edit it in chronological order. After we had that all sorted, we started to drag clips onto the timeline. For the start of the sequence, we just had a dark clip of driving cars and slowly began to build from that.

We started off with the idea that we wanted to had two shots per screen. We then realised that this wouldn't work and would make it very hard for the audience to follow so we just went back to one per screen.

After we had a rough draft of what we wanted it to look like, we went through and changed the brightness of the clips and in some of them added extra effects like the jumps cuts near the end.

Once all the footage was added together, it was time to add in the sound. As we didn't have any dialogue this was easier for us and all we had to do was add in a soundtrack. We did this by copying and pasting the audio underneath the timeline of the footage.

The final thing we did was add in the titles. These were randomly assigned as we all had equal participation throughout the entire process.
