EDITING - Constructing the timeline and adding effects

Putting the clips in order

 

Adding 'directional blur'

We put a lot of time into experimenting with all the different effects on final cut pro. In this particular part of the opening where the camera is panning around the park imitating the mothers point of view, we went for a blur effect to highlight her disorientation. The one we thought looked best was directional blur.
