1. Maid in Manhattan: Opening Scene
Part One:
This task is designed to get you used to using Adobe Premiere CS6. It is also designed to get you
thinking about the ways in which shot choice and editing convey meaning to the cinema audience.
Your task is to use the raw footage of New York city scene to create the opening scene to a new film.
The footage is a mix of cityscapes which you need to edit together. There are some audio files for
you to use, but feel free to add separate audio tracks if you think they fit better.
Your project must:
Have titles that list the main actors and the name of the film
Include the name of the film production company
Have music that conveys genre, mood and tone of the film
Have a selection of shots that communicate a sense of location
