On the 5th of February we finished filming every scene that we needed for our opening scene. This was filmed later then we wanted due to complications with our actors and inconveniences occurring.
We also started editing and created our studio logo and integrating it into our final piece. We also considered our options on what kind of music we were going to integrate into the film, although we knew what genre we wanted (pop) we looked into specific songs and soundtracks.
On the 8th of February we continued editing the new shots we had taken on the 5th, adding transitions and additional sound where necessary. We also read into some sources such as the 'Media Magazine' which helped up edit and clearly show the representation of each character.
On the 15th of February we edited the order of the opening scene, to see which way the clips should go to create the emotion and atmosphere that we want our audience to feel when watching the opening sequence, which is a pleasant surprise, which makes the audience want to watch the film and become engulfed in the story-line of this uncommon situation.
On the 17th of February we short-listed the options for the soundtrack for the opening sequence, these were: The man who cant be moved - The Script
Up- Olly Murs FT Demi Lovato
and Jason Mraz- I'm Yours.
We looked at both the instrumental and original versions of each song, so we could see which song would be most effective. We also went through the whole sequence to check there was no sound or visual issues, which we did find and we fixed them so that the film can reach it's full potential.
On the 19th of February we chose the song that we felt was going to be the most successful in portraying the emotions that we wanted to trigger in the audience, this song was the instrumental version of Jason Mraz- I'm Yours. We also changed the titles throughout the sequence so that they were more constructive for the audience both the read and fit in with the theme of the romantic aspect of the film, with simple curves and a soft color. the image below shows the editing process of the titles, at this stage we had added the music and edited any issues we had.
