Filming and Editing Journal ( Week 2)

12/1/16

During this day we started to put the footage in the correct order, This took us a while as we had multiple takes on each scene to get the perfect shot. After about 20 minutes we were happy with the footage that we filmed and now begun to import clips from the internet to give the beginning of the opening a more realistic and professional opening. We imported 3 clips, one was taken from a documentary about the Soviet invasion of Berlin. Another was taken as a Gif of a nuclear weapon aftermath and the final clip is from another documentary of the U.S invasion of the Iwo Jima islands.

Once we had all the Clips imported, we had now got a complete opening, all we needed to do was to add transitions and  import some background music. The music we obtained was from the soundtrack of the action thriller film Fury, We had sent an e-mail to the company behind the rights of the music to avoid copyright and allows us permission to use it (a post later on highlights this).

With our opening almost complete, we now had to add the transitions between each slide. The transition we used was the radio/Television static, This was used to create an early 1960's feel to the opening with radio static and black and white effects to make the opening seem like it was actually in the 1960's-70's. Overall it was to make our opening seem more professional.


In the screenshot it shows us adding sound affects from the sound bible to add some non-digetict sounds to the opening. This is one of the many non-digetict sounds we included in our opening scene, We included the use of radio waves to be used in the transitions to add a more nostalgic feel to the opening.
