Editing

We started editing the footage before we shot the morning sequence of 'Callum'. As a group, none of us were particularly familiar with Macs and their software, but we used iMovie to edit our film opening and managed to pick up the basics relatively quickly. We had a general idea of what we wanted it to look like from our story board, so we used that to put the clips together in the order we thought looked best. Once they were together it became obvious that some needed to be shorter, longer or got rid of completely. We put together the Blenheim shots and Kasey's morning shots with the song Lovely Cup by Grouplove. We made a note of where we wanted to put in footage of Callum's morning for when we had finished our filming.

Once we had our shots of Callum in the morning, the film opening started to look how we initially imagined it to. We put in the shots in the middle of what we originally had. Switching between the two characters showed that they were getting ready at the same time, this is a bit of background for when they cross paths in Blenheim. After we had successfully got the basic frame of the film opening, we could start to change specifics such as the transaction between shots and the diagetic sound we wanted to use, this included the door slam and water when Kasey is washing her face.

We then started to plan our credits, we came up with the fonts and colours we wanted to use and then input a few credits. We still need to work on improving our credits. We can do this by watching some film openings from the same genre and taking note of how they appear on the screen and the timings.
