Editing - The first few days

 Once we finished the filming of our opening sequence. we moved on to editing it. 

on our first day of editing we watched all of the clips individually and picked out the ones that made

the final cut out of all of the takes. after this we began putting all of the clips together to create the first draft. since some of our shots were panning shots or focus pulls, we had to to quite a few takes for each. which meant reviewing the footage quite tedious at times. some of the shots however were easy to eliminate as they contained small mistakes that the wobbling of the camera or a mic in shot. even some of the final shots that we used has small mistakes like little wobbles. One of the most prominent mistakes that we made was not getting enough shots of the kitchen scene. since the kitchen scene was the last one that we filmed, the whole crew was tired. Meaning, that we only got two long shots in the kitchen, one at high angle and one at a lower angle. we didn't however get a close up shot of his hand, so we had to improvise without it 

after going over all of the clips we then began putting them all together to make the rough draft of the sequence, to see how long it would be. when we put all of our chosen clips together the title sequence was about 3:30 long which was a minute over the time limit that we were given, which means that we needed to cut all of the clips down, and eliminate the ones that were not completely necicairy to the narrative.

 one of the big decisions that we made was too cut out most of the extreme close up title shots that we recorded. we did this because they were taking up over a minute of time in our sequence. in our original concept we had the idea to open the sequence with shots of the board and hands playing on the board. however, this was not convenient to us while editing, so sadly most of them needed to be cut.
