Editing Solution!

As Akin and I previously pointed out our issues with editing our Opening Title sequence, I have spent time testing out a few things and have figured out how to acheive the ideal result.

At first we put a seperate clip on the footage we had of picaddilly circus and resized it a box which would fit estimately in the screens we wanted to take up. However there was a problem with trying to fit it perfectly in the screens in terms of shaping the edges as all sides of the box stayed straight and there was no easy way of bending them to fit perfectly.

After testing out as much effects that seemed could be useful, nothing worked well enough to satisfy what we wanted. Eventually I came across an effect under the 'keying' category that was called 'Sixteen-point garbage matte' that allowed the clip to have 16 vertexes/points at the edges of the clip that we could move/adjust to make the clip into our ideal shape.

In the edit effects section there were 16 coordinate points in which I had to change to make the right shaping for the clip. This gave us the opportunity to create the bent/curved edges that we originally wanted. Although this did take some time to make it perfect, it was worth it.

Now all we need to do is apply the same effect and coordinates for the 16 points for the clips we want to fit in the same shape. Also we can use the effect to transform clips into perfect shapes for the other screens.
