Due to a series of complications, which I shall be explaining in more depth in a separate post, we had to change our title sequence. With time being an issue we had to take the simplistic approach to our sequence or we wouldn't have the sequence completed in time. We brainstormed a new idea which focused on elliptical editing as we wanted a simple sequence which still allowed the narrative to be portrayed. This gave a nice effect as it showed the two sides to Teddy, everyday Teddy and spy Teddy, therefore through the sequence his occupation is portrayed.
We had Tom writing a funeral speech for his nan, in which he kept messing up and throwing the paper towards to camera. This was to represent the repetition in training Teddy had to do to become a spy.
Whilst this is happening we placed scenes of action which we filmed, and a incorporated a couple of scenes from our original footage which we were lucky enough to have on a usb, in the background of the shot.
To create a sort of ghost image/ elliptical editing we uploaded the videos to final cut pro and dragged the video we wanted to be displayed on top over the clip it will be displayed on. We then went into the opaque settings and lowered the setting so the clip would turn transparent.
Once we had done this we noticed the videos didn't run smoothly together thus we added a cross fade at the ends of the clips so the sequence would come together professionally.
