As it's the day of our deadline, and there were still a few shots needed, me and another member of my group decided to go out early with one of our actors and try to capture the last few shots. The main shots needed were for the train station scene in order to end the opening in a dramatic way (the station manager kindly let us film there). Firstly, we needed a POV shot of the train coming into the frame and coming to a stop in front of the protagonist. Secondly, we needed a shot of him actually getting on the train and the doors closing behind him which would act as one of the final shots of the opening. Lastly, we wanted a shot of the train leaving, this however wasn't possible due to time limitations.
After getting all the shots we could, we had to get back to school to edit them in order to meet our deadline. As I had no other lessons that day, it allowed me to spend the entire day trying to finish our opening in time. I managed import all the footage and make a start on the titles. However, the opening was substantially too long but unfortunately we ran out of time and could therefore not trim it down to meet the two minute requirement.
I was reluctant to give our opening in this state and wasn't pleased with the standard of which it turned out, but as it was our deadline I had to bite the bullet and give it anyway, knowing full well it wouldn't achieve the grade I was aiming for.
