Editing Day 2:

Hey Cambridge! As you know, I finished compiling all the video and sound clips together. So, today I have to edit the credits onto the screen.

My 1st step is to pick a font. I want it to fit the tone and mood of the story without being too formal or childish. Using this copyright-free font website called "Fontspace," I started my search for the perfect font. Right of the bat, there were numerous bubble letters and 'thick' looking fonts, which I definitely don't want. Next, I scrolled down to the bottom and started looking through the different font types.

I personally really liked the calligraphy category and cursive ones but it's not giving the mood/vibe I want. Finally, I discovered the typewriter font! This is exactly what I want, and it gives like old but new vibes! To me, it comes off as kind of messy and reminds me of eyeliner/Jess's makeup since typewriters can smudge. Here's the font I will be using for my title card!

For my credit sequence, I browsed the same website and found went into the movie category that they have. I found a perfect font! I wanted to make sure it would be differentiated from my name, so I played with the sizing.

Now, it's time to actually add it to my film. Using this video, I found online, I learned how to add overlay in Clipchamp.

I also realized that yesterday, I never added my production company logo to the beginning, so I just did. It took me multiple tries since downloading it from Canva gave me very pixilated images. But that brings me to 2:09 minutes! I'm pretty sure that's okay since it's only 9 seconds over but I'll double check with my teacher. If not, I can always cut down one of the car scenes and make it shorter!

Before I added any text, I wanted to summarize and get what required credits I need organized so here it is listed below.

Production company w/logo (no more than 7 seconds): 67th Arrow

Main actors: Crosby 

Editor: Ava (Me)

Production design: Ava (Me)

Director of Photography (cinematographer): Ava (Me)

Producer(s): Ava (Me)

Writer(s): Ava (Me)

Director: Ava (Me)

In the actual film I will put full names, but for here I only put our 1st names.

Here's an image of the film title, "Over It" that appears near the end! I made sure not to end on it since that would signify resolution or some type of conclusion! I have it fade in and out, so it looks very smooth on screen!

I'm so happy I have wrapped on filming and editing! Now I can fully focus on creating my CCR! Editing was slightly stressful, but it was mostly because I had to re-edit a lot of things I made mistakes on. Overall, I'm glad I'm on schedule and maybe even early! I can't wait for you to see the finished product!
