Feed the fish edits

3/2/2010
Today we finished editing the "Feed The Fish" sequence, and uploaded it onto youtube. It was a good learning process for us, as we learnt how to use diffrent shots in practice rather than in lesson discussion. We also learnt how to edit clips and add effects. However, we noticed some flaws with our preliminary task, which we see as a learning experience as we now know not to make the same mistakes in our final opening sequence.
The mistakes we made were only minor they were things such as almost crossing the line in youssefs (henchman) entry into the office, we would have made the shot more accurate and gone further to the right. We also jump cut from the close up of the feed the fish door sign to the over the shoulder shot of youssef walking through the door. We decided if we were to do this task again we would discard the tracking shot of youssef walking to his chair and replace it with an elipsis shot of him sitting straight into the chair.
For the first three opening shots we decided to use an elipsis shot from youssef (henchman) walking into the building straight to him walking up the stairs as it took up less dead time and the audience would easily understand this sequence.
We added special effects on imovie to youssef looking back scene to show effectively that we are looking into a past event.
