Credits&Titles;

Last lesson we had our 2 minute opening sequence nearly finished but we thought that the subtitles we originally had were not as interesting as they could be so we used a new software called LiveType and started to experiment with some new ideas. We imported the still frames we wanted into LiveType and then changed the colour,movement and transition of the titles. However when we then inserted the new title back into iMovie the quality of the picture changed and it didn't look as professional so we decided to stick to the original credits. As a group we then looked through all the fonts and chose our favourite ones that could possibly used for the title of our film "SnapShot". The colours we considered were red, yellow and orange because they were bright/upbeat and reflected the genre of our opening sequence which is a comedy.We decided on the colour orange and used a fun font called "Manic".
We then still had time to change the titles on our still frames. Our teacher suggested that we take the whole clip , with the still frame and import it into LiveType so that it would all be the same quality. After much importing/exporting and fiddling around with different fonts and effects we managed to get new titles which show we have some knowledge of how to use LiveType.
