Editing session
In todays editing session me and Alex began to edit the the audio with the footage, I think we found it easier than it should of been, this is because creatively we are very similar and both of us have the same/similar ideas, we both work together to develop each others ideas. We both have experience using premiere pro, so this made the task easier. However sometimes we did get stuck on how to do certain things, therefore we had to ask for help, or do our own research to find how do do these tasks. Overall I think it was very successful because of how well we work together.

Due to not being great at using programmes such as premiere pro, in this particular area I have to take a back seat and watch how Alex and Jordan work it for future references where I can them apply my skills I have learn. however for now I don't know enough about the programme to put too much of an input in however I do give my opinions and advice to how the shot could go and so on.

This is our first draft of our thriller "The Decoy". A lot of small things our needed to be changed, we need to change the audio because of copyright issues, which the Muse song breaches, therefore we need to find some royalty free music to use for our title sequence.
Also we need to add in the titles, and roles of each of us. This will be very simple, I know, what names I want to put, and where I want to put them due to the storyboard, also we have already researched the typography, so we our well prepared for this task.
We also need to edit the title sequence, the colour needs to be changed to make it darker, this is too keep more relevant to our opening, also it will continue the thrilling factor, and it refers back to our espionage sub-genre, I know this because of my research.
video needs to be added

Responding to teacher feedback
After I had put in all of this audio and our rough cut was finished. I asked Mr Michie to watch our video and give some feedback to us on what we could improve. he suggested that we should not have three soundtracks used in a two minute opening and that we should get rid of the Muse soundtrack because it is copyrighted. He also suggested that we should use the running sequence music as the title sequence music to keep that familiarity within the two minute opening. Mr Michie did say however that he did like the theme of our idea and how it played out and said that the editing of our continuity within the sequence was good. He also said that we need a bit more footage at this point because we have not reached the full two minute length of the opening sequence as it only reaches to about one minute and thirty seconds.
To respond to this we will come in the next day to film more footage that we will be able to use to reach the full two minutes. Furthermore, we will also cut the audio of Muse out and put the running sequence music for the title sequence as we also believe this will make for a more effective two minute opening. Overall, I think we are finally getting to the stage where we will almost be finished.

It was helpful for Alex to get advice of Mr Michie due to him knowing what is good and what has been done many times before and so on. As well as this, I do agree with Mr Michie when he said that having three soundtracks in such a short clip would be a bit much because it messes with the audiences predictions in a strange way.
