Here is the first very, VERY rough cut of my film opening. I have called it 'Life in a Glass House' as the character in the film feels trapped and shows from her actions how it is to be restricted. I have had endless problems whilst editing the footage:

• getting the footage from the camera onto the computer
• using Windows Movie Maker
• converting the first cut into a video

I am very glad that the majority of the editing process is now over.  I still have a lot to do, I need to make an animation for the production company at the beginning of the video and clear up the editing even more (particularly looking at fonts and transitions). Also, the quality of the film is absolutely awful and I think I may have to re-upload it to resolve this. 

Soundtrack

After editing my film opening and seeing it all come together, I chose a piece of music for the soundtrack. Before this I had a few songs in mind, but after fitting them with the video I didn't feel like they particularly 'went' with the film. I found the piece of music by trawling SoundCloud for what seemed like forever, to find an acoustic/calm piece of music that was copyright free. Eventually I found something I loved straight away. Lyrically, the song isn't really much to do with my plot but I think that it sets the tone and mood of the film opening perfectly.
