Film editing workshop (Title sequences)

So recently we were visited by an EX-student of the Kings School called Sion Roe. He right now is a professional photographer based in Exeter and he came into our lesson to help us out with editing film opening sequences specifically the titles.


 In this image we can see a still from our finished title sequence experiment that we did ONLY FOR THE LESSON not for our task even though we may use some of the techniques that Sion taught us.
We went through fading, opacity, colour, layers and artwork in order for us to have all the tools we needed for our title sequences.
In the image you can see that the title is surrounded by the main recording whilst another recording is playing within the faded letters which really added up for a great effect and is certainly something that we can use in the future.


In order for us to gain this style of title we had to select a style from the tool bar called "Track matte Key" this allowed us to put the title in without any boarders or text boxes blocking our view.








In this image we can see the opacity settings that allowed the title to fade in and out and expand in and out. This was a very nice effect as it could open up various ideas about how we could combine various ideas from the film into the title sequence so that they could work together.
We can also see the time line at the bottom which allows us to show when we want the title sequence to start and the layers of video that we used.
The workshop was very useful however I found it very difficult and I think premier pro will take some getting use to it. 
It REALLY helped me with sound though as I now am familiar with the sound effects and transitions. So hopefully the sound/audio should be amazing in our actual task.
