Editing- Titles

Today during editing, we added titles to our sequence. We had to come up with a name for the production company, and we decided on using Greenway Pictures, as we thought it sounded professional and fitted in well with the tone of our film. As the tone of our film, particularly the music, is quite slow rather than high packed with action, it looked nice to have the tiles come up separately, rather than over the shot. Therefore at the beginning of the film I added a black shot with the title of Greenway Pictures, and then the first two shots of the film play, and then another title shot comes up, saying "A CNR film, as these are the initials of all of our first names. This adds to the tension of the opening, and emphasises the slow pace that we tried to achieve. It also makes our opening look much more professional, especially as we made it so that the music starts before the first title appears, and we made the singing start again whilst a new shot comes up.
We also added titles over the shots. Although all of us took on each role of production equally we decided to make the titles: Directed by: Robyn Archard, Camera by: Chloe Thomas, and Edited and Music by Nephthys Foster. Unfortunately, for some reason the shots that this titles are over have gone blurry, for some strange reason!! We are hoping to fix this in our lesson on Monday.
