Incorporating Black and white footage into Fame VS The Streetz

In a previous post i said that we were not going to use a black and white filter on any of our footage but we decided that in the repeated footage of Samantha's POV shot that we would do the first two shots in colour and the rest in black and white to show the physical state of the character (moving in and out of consciousness). I think that adding the black and white filter has helped communicate the message that we want to illustrate to the audience.

How to make titles in Motion - VIDEO

I previously explained how to create titles in motion in a different post using screenshots and texts but here is another visual explanation that I found on Youtube.

How to create titles  in motion that you can use in Final Cut Pro

Overview Of Our Title Sequence Project

Making this title sequence has really tested and stretched me to develop my skills and knowledge when it comes to planning, filming and editing. It has also encouraged me to become a quick thinker when issues arise. i have realised that working in a group requires a lot of hard work and communication whereby relying on group members can put you in a vulnerable position (which is why i enjoy individual work more). During this time i have learnt more about how to use final cut pro and motion which i am happy about because it is skill that I can use for my hobby. Overall, this project has taught me a lot about my technological and communication skills. Our final piece came with a lot of disadvantages but watching all the work that we did together in order to create it was rewarding.

Editing issues

We received some feedback from Louisa and she said that we had to change the order of the credits so that they mimicked the conventional order of credits in youth dramas.
However, today we encountered some issues with our titles in motion. The motion tool bar disappeared and it wouldn't let us change the colour of the typography. We asked one of the technicians for assistance and he couldn't fix the mishap either. This has delayed us as we have to add the rest of the credits in tomorrow. 

18.. Summarise how to create titles in motion.

When you first open up motion it displays a selection of templates. You are able to either choose a template that is given or create your own.

Here the template Barrel Terns has been selected.

A page that says "Information here" will pop up. Once you click on the writing you are able to type the content that you want to show up.

As there are 4 barrells you have to do this 4 times.

If you want to change the colour of the font you need to go to the top right corner and click 'colour' on the drop down box.

The font has been selected to show as grey

All the text is now in grey. This is the end of the motion tutorial.

Style of title sequence

Our Title sequence is a youth drama so we decided to make the sequence discrete. We do not reveal much in the title sequence so it leaves the audience hanging and makes them question what may come next. This adds to the mysterious theme of the sequence and the style of it. We thought that we should keep the style of our sequence discrete because we didn't want to reveal too much and because it is not a trailer whereby we'd be able to reveal more of the plot.

How to make our shots Black and white

To make shots Black and White on final cut pro you click on effects, scroll down to image control and click on the black and white tab.

Here's a way to make footage black and white using the 'Colour Corrector tool'.

Dan's Feedback - 05/03/15

 Saffron
Dan watched our final edit of our title sequence and told us that it could be improved by adding reaction shots and more facial close ups.This will show more emotion and create reactions from our audience . He also said that we need to communicate more clearly what has happened to Esther's character in the attack scene, as some people might not understand.

We have one reaction shot of myself already filmed so we are adding that to the title sequence today. The reaction shot is also a facial close up so we are addressing two of Dan's improvements. 

We are also adding Foley sound to our title sequence. The sound of a siren will be used to build tension and create a serious atmosphere. The siren will match the mise-en-scene of Esther in pain on the ground. We are also thinking of adding in a voiceover , to show that Samantha is being followed and is about to be attacked.

Esther
So therefore, we plan to add the reaction shots, as well interoperated black and white effects in some of the shots. Likewise with the sound, we intend to get them to match with each specific scene, to get the message across effectively, rather than leaving the audience wondering how everything links together.

And by then we will finally have the title sequence done, but still we have to sort out the order of the title sequence credits. To finally have everything set in stone.

Editing

In a previous blog i had said that we as going to adjust the filter of our shots to show the tenses but as the whole of our title sequence is based on the attack scene we are going to leave the colours the way that they are. This will not cause any confusion between the audience.
