Day 3 of editing

During day 3 of editing we continued to trim/crop our footage, so that it fit within the time of 2 minutes. so we cropped our small parts of common room and some of the stairs scene so that we get a cut, so as the protagonist walked up the stairs and the cut to when they they enter the second set of stairs. After we went onto adding titles, so at the beginning when the protagonist enters to start the opening we added the title ' Directed by Fahmida and Hayley' at the beginning, so when we were positioning the text, we decide to have the 'directed' part of the text in the middle, and the name on a separate line directly below the first line. The font style that we used was italic bold we use this font style because we thought it would complement well with the opening as it will help inform the audience on more information about the opening. the size of the font that we used was 53, as we thought it would be the most appropriate font to use, but we did trial different fonts to see which would fit and would look more appealing to our opening. The colour of the font that we used was black as we though it would show up well when the opening begins. using the colour black connotes a mysterious, which would link to what happens in the opening as the is an unknown relationship, which will show the introduction of the male and female, so during the opening its will leave an enigma for the audience to find out about there relationship, and the colour of font contribute it. Also we made the smaller titles to introduce the cast in our opening and we placed, where there was empty space in the shot, so in this case, when Bronte was walking one side, then we put the smaller titles on the right hand corner, on the other side of her. so we decided to fill up the shot, but not make it too crowd in the shot. When making the titles we had problems with adding the animation to the title, we wanted to have a fade for a duration of 5 seconds, so we went onto you tube and looked for a video, which will show us what how to add the animation. (Youtube clip start from 2:07) from this we tried to apply this to our opening. However when doing this found out that we could  edit the animation on the timeline and apply through it as well by right clicking on the fade out button. We then rendered the the whole opening so that it would play more smoothly.
