Adobe Premiere Pro

There are many options for video softwares, like ones with a more simple UI but less features and ones with very complex UI's but more customabillity with your videos. I've chosen to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I believe it will let me fully do what I want with the video clips I gather rather than something like WeVideo which although is simple to use would have a low skill ceiliing allowing for less creative freedom. I've had some short-term experiences with this software so I'm not completely oblivious to it's tools, but it will definitely be a challenge learning it so I'm going to start experimenting with it right away. I also believe that using this will help on future projects unrelated to this opening.

Filming Locations

 

There is a lot you can do with just using the local environment around you to film instead of traveling far out for your scenes. I want the opening to have an authentic type of feeling, like this could be a place the viewer could live at or live near by. My neigbhorhood has a lot of potential filming locations I'm interested in but only when it's nighttime because it creates a dark atmosphere. The most I really need to travel really would be around 10 minutes, as everything I would want in my opening could be done there. 

    There is also a park close by to my house with a lake which will very likely be used. In terms of script writing I'm sort of brainstorming it in terms of the locations I'm surrounded by to help me create a story, which will make this process a lot easier and fun. Here is an example of some scenery I could imagine being in the opening, with two people walking in the middle of the road
