Once I got a clear idea of what I needed to do for my planned opening title sequence, I had to begin the process to develop my opening title video project.
Filming Process
For the filming process of this project, I had to set up the iPad by placing it securely on to the tripod. Then I had to get a few pieces of paper and a charcoal pencil for the scribbling process to my video. Once I got all the equipment set up, I was ready to begin filming my hand creating a scribble with the charcoal on a piece of paper. I wanted to repeat this process a few more times to see if I can capture a better clip for my video title.
Editing in Adobe Premier
Throughout this process, I did get some guidance from the teacher of how to configure the tools I needed to use to help me edit the video.
- Once I got the clips I wanted for my video project, I began to do the editing process for it on Adobe Premier Pro.
- I then select and imported the best looking clip that I wanted to edit in the program.
- The clip was automatically place into the timeline.
Title Text
- Next I had to create a title text of my name by using the text tools in the editing menu.
- For my text’s font, I chose to use a chalk textured font effect.
- I then dragged the finished title text to timeline.
Sounds
- The next step for my video project, I wanted to select a personal favourite music track of mine. The track I chose for it was Gorillaz: 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix).
- Once I copied the link to this video on to the site called ‘convert2mp3.net’, I then only converted sound using the mp3 option.
- I downloaded the soundtrack itself and then imported it into projects timeline.
- Next I decided to speed up the main video clip to create a short and suitable time duration for an opening sequence.
- I then changed the colour tone of the video to a black and white theme.
I wanted the title’s text to be slowly revealed as soon as I scribbled over the layer it was placed on. I did this by adding a masking layer over the text. Once I have done the other editing techniques for this feature. I then toggled the animation to happen at the start of my video clip. Lastly, I then clipped off the unwanted parts of my clip from my video’s timeline.
Once the editing process was done, I then saved and exported the final video.
The Finished Opening Title Sequence
This is the finished results of my opening title sequence video for this term’s project. I was pleased with the overall results and how it mostly followed my expressive vision as planned. I was really impressed with the composition, colour tone and the overall video showing my creative personality.
