Re-editing a film opening

Our film opening that needed re editing was the film "Arlington Road". The films opening was splits into different sections which we were told re edit.

Our job was to recreate and find the correct order of the film opening which made sense. We were given two company idents and these were the first clips that were featured in the opening. This was followed by the name of actors which were deemed as popular as they appeared before the film title.

After the film title we included some more actors that were less popular than the previous three. These included the directors, producers, editors and more. The director was last to be featured as thats how most film openings are.

Final edit including Title sequences

All the actors and crew members texts were in the same font which was a white plain font however the film titles was the only text that was different. It was bigger than the others but had the same font and colour. One problem which was realised is that the font colour clashed with the footage behind, thus making it harder to read the credits.

Once we finished re editing the opening and including title sequences, we were told to create some foley sound that matches the opening. We went away with a microphone and went around the area to record sounds. We used doors, paper, walls and ourselves to create the sounds. We came across problems such as sounds being to fast for the footage which resulted in slowing down footage and speeding up sound and vice versa.
