My casting had to change as the only day fit for Mitch to film was a saturday because of work and I needed him as he was the main character I had to find another girl to star alongside Abi and that ended by being Alice.
I found editing the shots really difficult as many of the shots were very long and I didn't think I would be able to cut them down and still make sense to the audience. But I overcome that by using effects to help me out.
I found finding the music for my opening sequence really fun because I enjoyed trying to find the exact music I thought would match my scenes. I went through about 40 songs each lesson until i found the two I decided to stick with. Although I do believe the music I chose were the best options, I did want a more dramatic second song to emphasize the memories of Mitch, Abi and Alice.
I messed around with the fonts and texts in each scene, to start with I used the Arial font and I found that rather boring and it didn't fit in with the plot of the story, so I changed the font to Stencil. I also changed the color of the fonts as I used a pink to start with than I later on realized that black and white would look much better.
I spent a lot of time watching many crime/thriller opening sequences on youtube and researching novels similar to my opening sequence to find the best title to click with my film, after a week of researching many I decided to go with: The Last Job. I thought that The Last Job would be a great title as it shows to the audience that he is obvisouly something to do with the government or mi5 and he has had to do this job and it has been one of the hardest things he has had to do in his life as they were friends beforehand.
Overall, I found editing quite easy compared to some of the filming I have done in the past. I think that is because I kept my storyboard alongside me the whole time to make sure I had enough time for each scene and I didn't miss out a single thing.
