~CSI South Norwood task~

What is this?

We had to CSI version of South Norwood using a variety of shots and techniques, we made sure that each shot for a character greatly showed the audience what exactly that characters role in CSI South Norwood is. For example, Inspector Sykes is seen interviewing a convict in a cubicle and then looking at documents in the following shot. This suggest he is some sort of negotiator or detective of some sort before the name of the character even comes up.

The editing side of this [Final Cut]

We had been given footage of the city to implement into our video to show that this is taking place in London. The Big Ben is a perfect example since this building only resides within central London. It was about 7 different videos of footage and what we had to do is use what we wanted from each video and then put it into the final video in which we would re-arrange the footage and add our own footage while still successfully implementing different editing techniques like visual matching. We had to make sure to add in the text. However, i went that step further and stylised the font and then variate the size of the text. I would even put the text in different areas of the shot for different characters.

When it came to the characters shot I would put in some further editing and change the colour of the visual of the character. As you can see on the video it’s an orange colour with a change in contrast as well.

My regret

I really wish I had the knowledge of motion text editing because this way i could have really made the profession of this video stand out and all together it would have looked much better. However i have learned from this experience and hopefully will learn how to do certain text animations soon
