Editing the Film opening

The editing process took place over a few sessions that usually lasted up to an hour. We struggled to edit as neither of us had much experience with using an editing processor such as iMovie, in 
fact neither of us had really used a Mac Book before so it was all quite new to us.

We spent quite a fair amount of time editing as we had to keep filming extra bits of footage. This because we found that it did not always flow or look that smooth. . Plus we had to film quite a few of the shots multiple times due to filming stuff in the wrong lighting, people were walking into the frame and we did at one point realise that some of the shots were filmed in the wrong frame, vertical instead of horizontal, which made the film look amateur. So we had to film a few times then add this footage to the film.

Then was also the adding of the credits and the title, we had to sort out where each credit would go, to keep them consistent. Adding the music over the top of the footage was quite fiddly as well because again we lacked experience when it came to editing. When editing we had quite a selection of footage that we had to cut down and adjust so that it would fit within the time limit. We also added a few sound effects including a gunshot and music from the iMac sound effects.

The images below one of our editing sessions, in this session we were working around the sound of the opening. So this involved adding extra sound effects, taking sound out and adding the music to help create the tension effect that we wanted.
