This week, my partner, Ryan, and I began editing for our film opening. We uploaded all of our videos to the school computer and to the editing software. We deleted clips that we didn't want to use in our final opening and began ordering the clips in the way we wanted them to appear. Here are some pictures of the editing process beginning: We have not yet incorporated titles and fonts into our movie, but they will most likely either be white text on a black screen in bold font or overlaying the opening. We are mostly doing cuts from shot to shot and are not using many transitions, because the opening is fast-paced. We have decided on putting a song that is fast-paced, likely an instrumental of a well-known song, over our shots, because it is supposed to be up-beat.

These are the college selection hats that our character picks from when doing his official signing to play basketball in college.   These are a couple of shots of the shoes and basketball that we will be using to film in the facility the we are shooting in. Here is the facility that we are shooting in. It is a basketball court, which is very appropriate for the plot of our opening.  We faced the challenge of finding a basketball facility to film in that would not have many people in it, so that we would not disturb them and we could have quiet for our film. We overcame this challenge by visiting the facility at a tim
