The Editing Process (Part 2)

      The most anticipated part of the project has finally arrived: adding the typewriter effect to the opening credits. At first, I thought it was going to be extremely complicated to animate this effect, especially since we had to do it many times. However, by watching a YouTube video tutorial we were able to accomplish it. The effect really made the film opening come together since it matches so well with the plot of the film. The opening credits include the production company, cast, music composer (especially since we have to give credit to the artists of the song we are using), editor, production designer, producer, writer, and director. Considering we had numerous shots of objects around the room, we have plenty of time to show all these credits. We were also able to animate the title to look like it is being typed out on a computer.

     The only roadblock we faced was the font we chose not being available on Davinci Resolve, or at least the free version. We picked out the most similar font which turned out to be Devanagari Sangam MN. After comparing the opening credits with black and white text color, we decided to go with black since it stands out more and better represents a typewriter. The next step is to meet with Julia and spend time combining both our parts and adjusting the editing to not look choppy, but instead continuous. Below is the YouTube tutorial we used to learn how to make the typewriter effect as well as a screenshot of the film opening being edited to include text.
