Filming/editing/title/music

On the weekend I filmed the "riders point of view" and sound of the horses hooves as this was the last bit we needed to do. I only did this because it was impossible to have the correct view n speed if somone else was filming. I did this by riding the horse and holding the camera with one hand roughly were the view of the rider would be. This was proven quite difficult due to the un-smooth ride meaning that the camera was quite wobbly and mostly likely we will be only able to use a few seconds because of this problem. The sound was done by while riding along to hold the camera down near the horses feet while it was moving to try and get an accurate sound. The problems with this was in some places where the speed picked up the sound was then quite hard to hear. Also another problem was that it was very hard to try and keep the same speed while filming to try and match the other clips of the riders eye view/legs/Jane and Rob on top.
But hopefully we can use some shots out of the filming it to use in scene in our film introduction.
So far we have been editing everyday just trying to do the basics of cutting and fading etc. Fortunatley we have only had a few problems. For example due to the sound of the riding clips not being perfect (too quiet or wind noise) we had to cut the sound up and try and make it match a completley different.
We have put in our music of "dreaming guitars - desert wind"(from www.music-for-video.com) which has been put at the begining of the film which creates quite a calm scene and then we cut the sound of suddenly with the slamming of the door to make more of an impact on the next few scenes. We are using this track even though they did not reply back. But we are assuming that its fine because the website is music for educational purposes and we are not using it comercially.
Also the most important thing we feel was picking our title. We have chosen "Annex", meaning to steal,  which we found by searching for western style words. We feel this suits our film well as it does have to do with stealing.
We have almost finished out editing just got to sort out the sound in some places and check that it all flows properly.
