Re-shooting And Editing Our Title Sequence

After the problems with the first shooting of our title sequence we was very wary with regards to re-shooting it as we did not want another day of no footage and with nothing to edit as the deadline day is only just around the corner. However things turned out to be different when we re-shot as it actually went okay when we looked at the footage just afterwards.

Our original plan was to use the dolly to shoot a 360 degree angle of our main character sitting on a couch however this plan did not go right as when it came to our first day of shooting, we found that there was problems no only with the floor of the setting, but also the space in the setting. So we as a group put our heads together and came up with a new plan that involved a tripod and not a dolly and we put this plan of action into re-shooting and it turned out to be better than we had originally thought. There were no problems with the footage that we re-filmed and we even thought that this could be our final footage if we edited it perfectly. What we had shot within our group turned out to be better than we had expected and now that we have also started editing it is turning out to not be a disaster like our first day of shooting was.

Now that we have shot this footage and have something to edit, here we now begin the process of piecing together the puzzle that we are trying to create. Watching an advanced person in Final cut pro use the software looks easy, but when i came to editing the title sequence and cutting up footage and putting it together i never realised how hard it was. As i edited more and more of the footage and pieced it all together i struggled to give it that little spark that it lacked in order to give it the wow factor that i wanted people to see in our title sequence. I new when editing that our title sequence wasn't going to win people over for the amazing angles that we had used or the superb acting by our main character played by Mike. So i knew that when it came to me and Mike doing the titles, i understood that they had to be the best anyone has ever seen and that the wow factor about our title sequence would come from them.
