CONSTRUCTION: OPENING SHOT

One of the very first aspects of the editing process was the opening shot in which the title of the band, song and remix are presented. The very first shot that is presented to the audience was taken on our first day of filming outside Hampton Court Palace around the old walls. We came up with the shot after it was noted by my partner that me leaning against the wall was a perfect shot for the titles to be shown next to me.

For choosing the font, we wanted a very
 clean cut and easy to read style of lettering.

We wanted to stick with our original ideas as much as possible and so we were sure to use the title effect of adding words on the screen one by one (see pictures for illustration). 

Each word was added as a separate import on top of one another so that, when played, there would be an extra word added to the timeline at a specific point.

When the titles were added, it was a simple matter of colour correcting the clip as a whole. I chose, like much of the other clips in the music video, to raise the contrast and equaliser so that the colours would be more vibrant.

Finally, i noticed that i looked up and to the right at a point in the clip and i decided to give a motive for this action. There was no sound apart from quiet traffic noises in the original clip so i went on www.grsites.com/sounds to find a car horn. The process was fairly simple - i downloaded the mp3 file and imported the file straight into the timeline in Premiere Pro.
