Day 6 of Editing

During the sixth day of editing we continued with adding titles into our footage on top of the black shot. This meant that the titles would be clearly seen. We adapted the titles into different font and different sizes to make sure we felt that the titles were suitable. We also changed the colour of the font back to white because we felt like white could be more effective in fitting the conventions of a romance film. White could represent innocence and purity which is what we are trying to portray in our female protagonist. We moved the titles around on the black shot to see if they were placed in the right place. We then had to faded them in and out, each time making sure we were rendering the footage so it was not jumpy. We then had to add in transitions to the story of the film to make sure each clip flowed into the next with no jump cuts. We found that adding in the black shots made the film run over the allocated time and so had to crop some of the footage down. This involved making sure that the film still made sense with some footage being cropped. We found this part quite difficult because we had to still make sure that the film would make sense but also so that it was in the time limit. We ended up having to crop some bits out but also adding them back in and cropping another section out because we thought that it seemed better with the original clip.
