Throughout the process of creating the our production, the key jobs were split, in order for it to be done as well as possible.
My main contribution to the task was the editing of our opening sequence 'Reminiscience'. In order to create the best possible opening, I worked alongside Ariadne Terizakis, since our collabortive skills created a faster pace and also better ideas. The opening sequence was formulated on the professional software 'Final Cut Pro', where I edited, cut and transitions from the wide use of tools on the software . Having previously used Final Cut Pro for a rather short length of time on our preliminary task; Ariadne and I knew the very basics, such as cutting and the tools. However, in order to reflect how we saw the Film noir Directors work- Alfred Hitchcock, we felt to include strong, effective and obvious transitions- which I believe was found rather difficult since the cuts between each little scene needed to flow, although we eventually found a way to reflect Hitchcock and have a flowing effect. The opening sequence of Reminiscence is somewhat a flashback as to which we see the characters memories as we zoomed towards her eye, to eventually come back out of her eye- but when we come back out of the eye, we had to take the first shot of Sarah and reverse it so we are almost leaving her flash backs. This also created some real struggles since we did not know if that was even possible to do on the Software, but fortunately we used the help book and also online and found that it was completely doable and therefore made a circular feel to the opening sequence. Obviously, as our genre of film is 'Film noir' we needed to turn the sequence into black and white, which we believed best to do at the end of the editing, just in case any small or possibly large problems occurred whilst attempting this. Luckily once again we searched about, and looked for the obvious to eventually come across the filter options. It was a rather long process creating a suitable and effective opening sequence (especially for a film noir) since there is many aspects to consider when it comes to the visuals, therefore I feel Ariadne and I did a rather good job, since it appears esthetically pleasing. We believed it would be a rather tricky process to create what we wanted to fir our description, which it was- yet fortunately I eventually became rather used to it and could successfully get on with it each lesson.
