Editing

Editing the whole title sequence itself was one of hardest aspects to this project, its a huge part to the final cut and it needed full attention and commitment due to the effects and ideas we had in mind in order for this to be a success.

Our idea was for the characters individual yearbook pictures to come to life with them then doing a moving pose to the camera when the book had been turned to their page. for example the main jock photo of him was him with a basket pall on his finger, he then came to life an walked into the shot and span the ball facing the camera.

A problem we had with these videos was that when we placed the character video on top of the video footage of the book turning the character video began to move and made it look very messy. we
needed to find a away for them to stop moving. this was a problem we found when we showed our final cut to the class, they agreed that we needed to find away to fix it so on our last week went back and fixed the problems. however due to family matters our editor Brittany was unable to attend school for a few days which left us in a situation, me and Bronte then took on the role of editor while she was not present.

Together we found a tool that fixed the moving video problem and applied that tool to all the character clips and it made a huge improvement, we also added some small effects which made it a lot better. for example when the book reached the next page of characters we added a flash which gave the video that effect of a picture being taken and then they characters came to life.

Other things we had to work on was the font styles and colors, in our feedback session we was told too look into other fonts because they believed they didn't work with that particular page style, we also needed to add the sticker tool to the fonts as they also moved around the page due to the video footage it was layered on top of.
