Editing

Today we started editing properly. We had previously cut the shots and ordered them on Final Cut Pro. So, we started to think about how we could make it more creative with the lack of footage we had. We tested some effects but decided that they didn't work for our film. We decided that the pace of our opening was quite slow, so to speed it up we cut an extremely short clip from our footage and wanted to place it in between one of our longest clips to make it more interesting for the audience. After doing this, we realised that it looked like it wasn't meant to be there so we decided to add in more of the same quick clips in random places on the long clip. It made it more flashy and fitted into the genre more. We then added an earthquake effect on the short clips to give it an even better effect.

We now need to add the titles and soundtrack to our opening sequence. We realise now that some of our ideas (polaroids) were too hard to film and would have taken a lot more than we initially thought. Our aim now is to make our plot/story behind the opening clear to the audience. As we could not get our actor in the same shot twice, we need to edit it well to make it apparent that they are clones.
