    Final Cut Pro X was used to edit the opening sequence. Various editing techniques were employed, including filters, sounds, shots, titles and transitions. Non-diegetic soundtrack volume decreased as dialogue volume increased. Diegetic sounds like gunfire and footsteps were included. Filters like vignette, aged film and black and white were used to denote themes and past scenes. Actor names and director credit were included as titles. Gun movements were synchronized to music beats. Jump cuts and fades were used as transitions between shots.

    Opening

    Sequence Editing
    By Conor Window

    Final Cut Pro X


    Final Cut Pro X is the software in which we used to
    edit our opening sequence. The application looks like
    this:

    Overview
    I used a majority of different features in order to make my
    opening sequence seem as realistic and professional as
    possible. This included a number of filters, as well as a
    variety of sounds and shots. Below is a screenshot and
    dissection of the complete editing process.
    Titles

    Shots

    Non-diegetic soundtrack

    Non-diegetic voiceover

    Diegetic
    dialogue

    Sound

    There is a direct correlation between the non-diegetic


    dialogue and non-diegetic soundtrack: as the volume
    of the dialogue rises, the volume of the soundtrack
    decreases; as seen bellow:

    We decided to include this feature in order


    to increase the sound quality, allowing the
    audience to hear the voiceover better, as
    well as preventing the music from drowning
    out the speech.

    We also included a
    number of diegetic
    sounds. These include
    machine gunfire,
    footsteps and dialogue.

    Effects
    We decided to use two different filters when editing our opening
    sequence:
    We used the
    vignette to denote
    darkness. This was
    in order to connote
    the dark themes
    and narrative of
    London Boy. An
    example of these
    would be murder,
    as seen in our
    opening sequence.

    We used the filter Aged Film for the


    parts of our opening sequence where
    Frankie was walking through London.
    This was effective as it conforms with
    the genre, as most gangster films are
    from the 20th century, meaning camera
    quality was not as good as it is today.
    This allowed us to create a modern film,
    whilst still denoting old film features.

    We used the filter 50s TV (a black


    and white filter) for the flashback in
    our opening scene. This allowed us to
    connote that this scene is in the past.
    It also assisted us in hiding Frankie
    Rodgers identity until the very end of
    the trailer, as even though his face
    was covered, this made his eyes less
    recognisable.

    Advanced Editing
    We used multiple titles of peoples names, denoting
    that these are the many actors that feature
    throughout the rest of the film. We also included A
    Harry Lee Film, denoting that my partner was the
    director of the film. These titles give the opening
    sequence a more professional look.
    We specially edited the
    part of our opening
    sequence by purposely
    synchronizing the
    picking up of the gun
    with the beat of the
    music. We did this by
    repeating the lifting of
    the gun as the music
    makes a specific sound.

    We used a variety of transitions


    in our opening sequence. This
    allowed us to naturally blend
    multiple shots together into one.
    These transitions include jump
    cuts and fades to black.
