Starting to Edit

As a group, we have had our first editting session using the Final Cut software. Although we only did this for about 20 minutes, we feel as though this has set us up for the rest of the opening as we now have a more clear idea on what we want to produce. We started our opening with an establishing shot, which tilts down to reveal the house. We discussed and came to the decision that as our opening starts in the present, then goes to a flashback, we needed a way of portraying this to the viewer. One of our shots had an ending which blurred out. We discussed using this and thought it would be effective when put together with sound and transitions. We are prepared for the next time we are going to edit our footage together, as we now have the first few shots together which set up the rest of the opening.
