The first edited clip.

So far, we have just got to grips with the software meaning that the production process will hopefully speed up from here. The footage began with the company logo being still normal text that matched all of the other titles. Now it has improved massively. The logo is animated with it's own font using 'Jack Story' from DaFont.com. The titles are also animated using inspiration from the popular TV show Supernatural. This has made them more interesting to watch and paired with the music, it sets the scene for the audience and they get a brief idea of whats to come.

At first the raw footage was glitchy and there were some beginners mistakes for example, the actors coming out of role and the camera operators uncontrollably shaking when recording. However when we began editing using Premiere Pro, we steadied each shot so they were perfectly still and we arranged them in an order confirming that the story line made sense and that each shot flowed into the next without the use of adding a dip to black meaning that the editing is simple but effective. 

Our group mainly created the film opening on Adobe Premiere Pro but the animation of the titles and logo, was completed on Adobe After Effects. To place them all together, we just imported each aspect that we wanted to include in our opening then perfected them all so they fitted into the sequence nicely.

However, we have come across many difficulties. Most of them have been over come but few of them still pose a problem. For example, one that we have succeeded is the fact of getting used to the software and editing technology. The first time we came across tech, we were totally oblivious of what to press and what each of the icons did to our project. Now though, with constant practise, we have all learnt enough to get us along at a steady pace but we are still learning. On the other hand, one of the biggest problems we have come across and are still working on is the fact that one of our shots are too short meaning that the story moves on a bit too quickly than it should. I have tried to slow down the duration but it has caused the speech to change as well. I then tried to cut and copy relevant bits and put them together but this lead to multiple shots one after another corrupting the continuity and made the audience feel uncomfortable. We are still addressing this problem but it has developed our knowledge by widening our imagination to other options when addressing a similar problem maybe even improving our work long-term.
