Q4 Week 1- Film opening (First Cut)

https://youtu.be/mOwTYkBUJv8

I have selected music choices for my film opening as well but I haven't included my song choices yet since I'm not completely sure how I want them divided up during the clip.

Editing Pt.2

For my second week of editing I have decided to work primarily on music choice throughout my film opening.  While I do tend to enjoy rap music in general, I feel a choice of classic rock will better fit the type of filming I am doing.  For this segment I am showing of the back of my boat, I am not planning on having any words, but rather just music playing as I surface from under the water into viewing the engines on my boat.  I'm still debating the type of transition I want to use when entering this clip, but I think I may end up using a quick flash type of transition with a narrow angle to add suspense.  I have encountered some problems in cutting and editing my music to fit into the video the way I want, but after like an hour I finally had some success in achieving what my desired outcome was.

Editing Pt.1

For my first week of editing I chose to focus my efforts on doing some words, titles, and disappearing information.  Since the scene shown above is a panning shot, it will be showing some text at the bottom of the video detailing the "unknown" location and other elements I am still planning on adding.  Since my film opening is based upon a film mystery type theme, I am working on having the words appear and disappear on the bottom in an FBI type of word style choice.  throughout my filming, I'm planning on using mostly plain video segment transitions since my film opening is following a fairly serious type of scenario.  I have run into some problems regarding the focus and video quality of some of the shots I have taken, so I may need to reshoot these segments of my film opening; I'm just not completely sure yet.  So far I've spent a couple of hours on developing my word choices for my film opening, and I am progressing fairly well forward.
