Editing

For us it is essential that we edit our opening sequence correctly as we want it to have a professional finish as well as having the correct conventions in the final edit.

To begin with we created a basic edit of the film and ordered each of the clips we needed to add the transitions and credits.

Through editing our opening sequence we encountered one problem, as we lost some of our footage however we managed to find this.

In our planning stage we didn't take into consideration the credits and we lost some of our editing time as we hadn't decided on fonts and colours to use for this. Although we have found a contrasting colour to the footage and a colour that also represents the genre but isn't specific to a gender so it should appeal to both boys and girls. The font we haven chosen should appeal to children as it has got soft edges and is quite magical.

We also referred back to our storyboard so that we could stick to our original plan and make sure we used our footage in the right places although we did make some small changes to our original idea.
