I made a first edit of the film opening, in which I basically just selected the footage I wanted to include and the takes I liked, cut them to the right length and placed them in the correct order, to create a succession of events that have a nice flow and fit the narrative. I didn't entirely follow the script, but instead got creative with which shots to include and their order. I'm really glad I did multiple takes and angles for each shot, because it gave me a lot more options to choose from.
I left the colour, lighting, sound and transitions untouched, because this version of the opening is just meant as a sort of draft. The order of the scenes might not make a lot of sense right now, but once I edit the colouring to better differentiate between the flashforward of the cemetery scene and the present time of the other scenes, and add the voiceover that will give the viewer a better understanding of the character and the story, it will all make a lot more sense. Anyway, here is the first, raw edited version of the film opening:
