 Movie Opener Final Cut   After reviewing some comments made by my classmates, I edited my film opening. I re-shot some clips of individuals putting on masks and asked the actors to look more serious because I did receive a comment saying that the emotion of the shots in the first draft fit the tone. I think these ones look nicer and have the emotion that matches the film opening's overall tone, which is pretty somber and reflective. Additionally, some mentioned that I take a look at the audio. I re-did the audio to make sure that the backing music sounded good at all times and the voices of the actors counting down from 10 were loud enough to hear. I am thankful for those comments and think that they helped me improve the quality of my film opening. 

  I really appreciated all the feedback I got from my draft film opening! It made me feel a bit more confident about my project. The biggest takeaways were that some of my actors' emotions didn't necessarily match the tone of the opening and that there were some audio issues. I may reshoot some scenes to make sure that the actors match the tone of the film. I also will work on the audio a bit and make sure the music and any dialogue (the counting) fit at appropriate volumes. I plan on working on the audio this week and possibly re-filming some shots this weekend/next week.
