Editing: Adding Titles

A big part of our film was the first 40 seconds, which involved the credit/opening title sequence. We began to plan what names and roles we had to include in the credits and we spent quite a bit of time making up names to put into the titles to make it seem real enough. We thought of quite common everyday names at first such as Raymond, Martha and Stephen. We then thought of quite common last names such as Clark, Turner and Campbell. We then began to think outside the box and thought of quite different and unique names such as Gertrude, Mildred and Frank. Thinking of appropriate names was not too difficult and before we knew it we had a long list of names we could put into our film. The roles we put into our credits were things such as Music Score, Director, Starring, Screenplay and more. We used the font Helvetica for the credits and this looked quite art deco because it is bold and it has quite square edges so it stands out and is easy to read also. We added the titles and there was also a drop shadow added to the text, of which had to be the same for each bit of writing, because during watching the film, Molly noticed that one of the names had a higher drop shadow than the rest and so we had to ensure they were all the same.

The text was finally complete with enough text on each credit shot that we planned and the whole film overall is coming along extremely well. It will soon be uploaded and marked.
