When editing my film opening I have used a number of useful tools in Premiere Pro.
The first tool was Selection Tool
it is represented by an arrow. Using this tool I was able to choose clips and then move them by holding the left button of the computer mouse. This made it easier to place clips within the working area because I was able to move them on other lines (for example from Video 1 to Video 2) as shown on a screenshot.
Also I was able to choose clips by double clicking on them to then watch them in a separate window. That feature helped me a lot because sometimes I didn't want to watch the whole video but wanted to see one particular part of it.
Also I have used Razor Tool to cut clips. To cut a clip I had to choose this tool on a tool panel and then click at the place on the clip where I wanted it to be cut. This allowed me to cut clips to then delete the pieces I didn't want to have in my film opening. Also it is a useful tool when you want to apply effect on one part of the clip but not on another. Using Razor Tool you can cut this clip into two clips and apply an effect on the clip you want to.
On the left and on the right you can see examples of the shots taken from storyboard. The shot on the left is the 5th shot in the shot list. On the right is the 7th shot from the shot list.
On the left is the same shot as on the storyboard and 5th shot on the shot list. On this shot George is jumping over the barrier as one the picture in the storyboard.
On the right there is a shot where George is running towards the camera. It is the same shot as in the storyboard and the 7th shot in the shot list.
As you can see, the shots in my editing space are placed in the same order as in the storyboard and in shot list.
This is order also exists in the shot list in the Premiere Pro.
By planning the order of shots I made it easier for my self to then edit the shots and create the film opening.

Process of editing and organising clips in the Premiere Pro
When I was editing my film opening I always referred to the storyboard. This was really useful as I could see what clips to add to an existing sequence. When adding a clip to a timeline I usually first cut it to only have a part of the clip that I was going to add in my sequence. When doing it I used Razor Tool or just dragged the end of the clip and reduced its' length.
In process of editing I also used the shot list that I have created earlier.
On the left and on the right you can see examples of the shots taken from storyboard. The shot on the left is the 5th shot in the shot list. On the right is the 7th shot from the shot list.
On the left is the same shot as on the storyboard and 5th shot on the shot list. On this shot George is jumping over the barrier as one the picture in the storyboard.
