My Thoughts On The Equipment

As we have only had access to basic school cameras and editing software we are obviously limited with what we can do to make our film opening look as good as possible. however I do feel that the software and equipment has done its done quite well. Everything has been running smoothly and we haven't faced any mayor problems.

9 Frame of Our Film Opening

This is a compilation of 9 frames from our film opening to show the storyline throughout the short opening.

Final Film Opening

This is the final version of our film opening, we have spent a lot of time trying to get this short video perfectly as we want it. The video is about a mix up of parcels at a work place, when the drug lord realizes the parcels have accidentally been switched him and his apprentice set our to kidnap the other employee as they believe that he is working for someone and switched the packages on purpose.

AS Film Opening Editing

This is how our editing looks so far, we have nearly finished it all, there are just a few tweaks left to add. we have decided to use a theme of titles to bulk the opening up, as it is only a opening to a film we have added other peoples names so it looks like there are more than just the three people starring in the entire film. the software we are using is called Adobe Premier Pro. For our AS work it has worked quite well as we have only been using simple shots so that its not too complicated to edit and make look good.

The Day Of Filming

We have just finished filming all of the shots we need for our AS film opening. Everything has gone smoothly today with no major hiccups, the script came in very useful to memorize before we did the scene. As a group we are all happy with how today has gone and cant wait to edit the footage and get it all finished.
