Editing for a second time.

More Editing. 

After the first editing session, we all decided that it there were still a few more clips left over that we could include within our film opening first sequence before the credits. We had a few clips in which were left over from the filming, in which included disorientating shots, that could foreshadow what is to come within our film opening. By selecting the piece of the clip in which I wanted to be included in the original opening,  I selected the clip, and split it, so that i would be able to source the piece that was needed for the opening. I then placed this back onto the dashboard,to enable it to be considered part of the film opening, and played it various times to make sure that it fitted in with rest of the film opening in which had already been editing and looked consistent with the rest of the footage.  Although I liked the consistency with the rest of the clips, i felt that it needed to have a smoother transition, and needed to fade to black to enable the consistency to continue.

As there is a lot of darkness in our clip, with the monochrome setting, I decided it would look better if it fades to black at the end, to enable the smooth transition at the end to continue on to the next clip. By clicking on the transitions, and then searching through to find fade to black, i then chose this to work together with the clip that I was editing to make sure that it would fade in, and also fade out, which would make it consistent with the rest of the clip, and would not look completely different from the rest of the clip, it would also mean that altogether the clip would run smoothly with nothing drawing paticular attention from the audience's perspective.



As the clip that was introduced was not as steady as the rest of the film opening, i had to run a stabilisation analysis, to determine how stabilised the rest of the film opening is, and which will then compare this to the clip that i am about to introduce. This took around 5 minutes, but the analysis was finally complete, and I then applied this to the clip to stabilise the clip, to continue the consistency onto the next of the clips which will be included within the opening.

There were many things in which I changed about the clip, to make sure that I got the best out of the set materials that I wanted. The source clip for this particular extract was only 4 seconds long, as the film opening is only 2 minutes and I did not want to bore the audience or drag the clip out for more than which was intended. I did not think that any video effects or audio effects needed to be added, but i did take out any of the sound effects, as I was not sure if a voice over needed to be included. The speed was kept the same, but i stabilised the clip using the smooth clip motion, as mentioned in the above analysis of the print screen. The maximum zoom was just allowing how strong and close up the zoom would be, in which i though would be necessary to obtain the detail within the location.
