Final editing

During the last couple of days of being able to edit and film for our title sequence I was unfortunately  unable to make it into school therefore the role of editing was passed on to both Jazmine and Bronte. Throughout the past couple of days they had given the class a second viewing of our title sequence, during the feedback we was again given some more constructive criticism to help make the sequence as best as it could be. One of the tips the class had exchanged with us was changing some of the typography as the believed it did not suit our consistent style of a high school comedy that is shown throughout. Fellow pupils had also brought to our attention about the yearbook pictures which would slightly move on the page, this was something that we all knew was a problem however we was finding it hard to think of a way that would allow this not to happen. Thankfully within the last week Bronte and Jazmine took over the role of editing and during this they was able to overcome the moving image problem, they had also applied some other affects which allowed the sequence to look a lot more efficient, one of the effects included was a flash, this was used to make the yearbook photos look like they was being taken by a camera. Once this flash was added it made the photos look like they came to life and had allowed the sequence to become more superior.Another effect they had to add in was using the sticker tool on the font, as the same problem of the font moving across the screen had occurred, however once adding these effects the problem was solved and once they had sent through the final cut to me for approval we was finally finished with our Welling High title sequence.

Editing

Due to my role being the editor i had came across many shots that may look fine when checking it on the camera, however once Jazmine filmed some shots and gave it to me to edit many of the shots had came back unsteady, therefore she would have to re-shoot these scenes, however when editing i had came across a 'stabilisation' button, this button had allowed the unsteady clips to be slightly unsteady,this meant that when overlapping the yearbook photos it had become a lot easier.

Freak scene update

We first shot our freak opening the book on a table with lined paper in the background, we did this to help keep the conventional aspects of a High school drama/comedy however once i started editing i was notified that it had looked very odd, this was due to her going from walking with the book to ending up on a table, therefore we had to think of a setting that would fit more with the sequence whilst helping it flow.

Editing

Editing has become one of the hardest aspects about our title sequence, due to us needing every video to fit perfectly within the video to give it a real life effect. As the characters open up the yearbook we have not only overlapped the videos onto the yearbook we had to also overlap images that were found online, for example on the geek page due to us not being able to find another geek to use, we had to find something that would feel the green square that was placed within the yearbook, after discussing it with my group we came to the conclusion of adding in a 'headboy' not only did this allow us to feel in the space however it had also fitted perfectly with the Geek character and the colour scheme which allowed it to have a real life effect.

On the graduation page overlapping had to also be done, this was due to there being a black space at the bottom of the page, we wanted the yearbook to look as pact as possible, therefore finding something to cover the blank space had become crucial, after having a discussion with my group we came to the conclusion that adding in the dates the pupils started and finished their school years at Welling High would be a nice aspect to add in, which like the head boy page had fitted perfectly within the page.
