This week we have edited our opening sequence. We started by selecting the rushes we wanted to use and dragging them onto the timeline. We then decided to work on the action scene first and then move onto the montage. We started by cutting the shots that we wanted to use to the parts that we wanted, we then started arranging them into a sequence that makes sense and looks visually effective.
After moving the shots around a lot we were starting to see the sequence come together and see how the shots worked nicely together as they were placed in the right timings.
We started with the action sequence as this is the baseline for our opening title sequence, however we also thought it would take the least time to edit as it wasn't as complicated as a montage.
We then started editing and montage, this is a lot more complicated as we edited it at a very fast pace and had white flashes to add to the dramatic atmosphere.
A problem that we encountered while editing was in the action scene there were few shots where you could see the body doubles face as there was nothing obstructing it, to fix this we just had to use other shots where the doctor's body was covering his face so that you can see it through any of the scene.
There were few shots that we removed, for example we didn't use all of the montage shots as we had taken a lot more footage that we needed. We also removed a few of the extra shots done from different angles as we didn't like the way that some of them looked.
After watching it a few times we were given advice to switch the order of the action scene and the montage so that the montage came afterwards to build tension as it looked strange having the fast action of the montage then slowing down to the scene. It looked a lot more effective when we had done this.
