Editing: Day 6

This is the sixth editing session we have now completed,and in this session we wanted to complete all of the opening credits.

I started to apply the text, and included the font and different colours.

Firstly we each presented our information on opening credits which we were asked to complete. After talking and discussing the information with each other we then decided to pick out the most relevant information for example who it was directed by and who the casting was by. After this we then started to add the text into the shots and used the chosen font from last lesson which we all agreed on and applied this to the text. However we didnt know which order for it to go in, so I numbered each of the credits and placed them in order so we could increase our producivity and therefore have more work completed. After this we then started to type the information in, and for the first name which was Amy's we placed the text near the bottom which helps show the white text more clearly due to the fact that we placed it near a dark area.

I used the features of Final Cut and added a blur effect.

When we were placing the first part of the text onto the sequence we used the different features of Final Cut Pro which could alter the transparency of the text also it could add a shadow and blur effect. When adding the credits we decided to only use two colours because then this looks more professional. The colours we used were white and black, on the shots which had high key lighting we used black text and on shots were the lighting ws low we used white to help contrast the colours so the text was always clear throughout.

I rotated the text so it is alligned.

When it came to including the directors names, Amber suggested we should have the text along side the wall to help it appear like its part of the setting. Me and Kayleigh liked the idea so we attempted to do this, however Amber wasnt sure how to turn the text so I took over and used the transform keys to rotate the text so that it is more inline with the wall, however we noticed that there was a large gap between the previous credit so we decided to change this.
