Editing Process (titles and credits)

Using both titles and credits in our piece is essential to make it a viable media production. It engages the audience to our film, it helps create a certain sense of familiarity with the film as it identifies actors and other people involved with the film.


The title is a big part of the film, because the title is incorporated in our production throughout. The title has to be easily recognizable and is ideal that also in our film we make sure it is well placed. In the shot you see below, you can see that the show is placed into a blank space, above the buildings as it emphasizes it. The shot is part of the establishing shots which is early on in the film, it helps our audience relate to both our location and the name of the film at the same time.

The title also had an effect added to it, a cross dissolved was used to help it come in and make the shot seem more natural. As the text used is not a natural object it was important to work this balance well, otherwise it would just come up out of no where and seem out of place.

Credits are used in all types of film including ours, it is important as it lets the audience know everyone who was involved with the filming process. I had a few facts about diabetes which was also added prior to the credits, we added these as a group because we felt that it create realism about the problem established in our film. it creates an emotional connection with the audience and really back up what we are trying to say in our film. The writing was very basic, as this helped make it more serious and it was one of the standard titles from Final Cut Pro. The credits were also standard ones from the software used to edit the film, it had to be simple as this is what the audience would be expecting and be familiar with.
