Editing: Day 2

Today we continued with the rough cuts. This is an important process that will assist us in getting the correct combination of music and footage, that will in turn create a successful opening sequence. Fortunately we were able to find a way of brightening up the dark clips from our filming process, this will mean that the rough cut will be more realistic and there is less pressure on a re-shoot. Most of today's session was spent on superimposing two different clips, this will enable continuity in the illusion section of the sequence. to do this the viewed the traffic clips in the viewer, We then super-imposed the Clip over the existing clip of Charlie our Kidnapper. We then cropped the image to appear only were the traffic is supposed to appear, thus creating the illusion that Charlie is disappearing and reappearing, without the problem of breaking continuity. Below are some screen-shots to illustrate the tasks I mentioned above.
