Editing our footage 8

As we come to the final pieces of editing for the sequence, we added in the titles of the cast, production company, directors and all other contributions to the film. Eboni had researched that many popular horror films used the institution 'Warner Bros' so we decided that we should feature this in the titles. I then knew that this would not look professional if it was just randomly placed in this scene so I suggested that it was clearly place underneath the photos here with a bold black font which we identified as being called 'Designer thin'. This would make it clearly visible for the audience to see without it being too outstanding. It also occurred that this would need a transition to enter the scene and so we played around and came to an agreement on one. We decided upon the fade in and fade out transition as this would effectively go alongside the actual clip which was also going to fade out and when we watched this back, it looked perfectly professional.

               

As we carried on with the titles, I came across a slight problem with the colour and positioning in a certain scene. We had planned to add titles to the part where we filmed Olivia's bottom half of her body as she skipped under the bridge as this would go with the consistency of scenes where text was added. I knew that we needed text in here but when I first positioned it, it wasn't particularly clear enough to see however, we left it as it was for the time being. We then watched it back with Miss and mutually agreed that it was not correct and so we discussed a re arrangement for the text. After playing around with the tools, we moved the text across to the right corner, as opposed to the left, and added a bold feature to the text which guaranteed us much more visibility and solved our problem.
