Production company: Final Edit.

We have decided to make a flip book based on our genre which is Supernatural Horror. So we planned out what the flip book was going to look like. We all decided on having a girl moving towards the viewer and then we had her smiling and her eyes bleeding. We wanted to have colour on it but we then realised that it would be difficult to replicate the colour on each page, so we left it in black. We kept the pencil lines because the scenery around the flip book is school equipment and a school desk.

Here is the filming of it without any editing:

Firstly I cut the beginning bit off of it because Chloe's hands were blurred and it looked a bit messy.

I dragged the yellow bar around the part that I wanted to keep and then I dragged it to the bottom bar:

I then increased the saturation and the exposure to make the white of the flip book to look more white and the desk to look more brown so that overall the colours are stronger and more vibrant, but not so much that the viewer needs to squint at it:

After this I used the balance tool to even out the colours and make it look less orange overall. It does this by bringing out the blue tones in the video and again makes it look much better to look at. (The balance tool is on the right hand side under colour) 

Now I have to add our Production companies name over the top of the piece, i will be putting it in the bottom right hand corner as this is the only place it will fit and when it fades in it will also be eye catching. 

I used the one that says "Right" and I dragged it so it was over the top of the video, this makes it overlay the text onto the video, rather than it fading to black and then having the name come up.

I looked at several different fonts and I ended up asking the group which one they liked the best out of these four: 

This one was Bradley Hand, and our group decided this looked a bit too tacky and that the style of it didn't match what we were looking for. 

This one was "Chalk Duster." I picked this one because I thought it would relate to the things behind the flip book. Again my group thought this was a bit tacky and the writing style was a bit blurry and missing pieces (like chalk) and it didn't fit what we were looking for. So I decided to find something that was a bit more bold and looks like it was written for a comic strip or for a art and design homework.

This one was "Comic Strip." I personally liked this font and I was going to use it in the final Production company edit when my group said it looked tacky and looked out of place based on the scenery. I liked it because it looks like the type of writing that would be used on a comic strip, and comic strips are like flip books but the scenes are further apart and don't make a running image like a flip book does. However my group didn't like it so I changed it again. 

This was "Copperplate Gothic Bold." I personally thought this font style looked completely out of place but the rest of my group liked it and thought that it was simple and didn't look overly tacky. 

I then had to make it so that the name would fade in. 

I used this Fade tool and I dragged it so it was underneath the video clip, but so that it was at the same time as the writing would come up on the screen. 

I then decided it needed some sound, as the sound we had on it was not very loud and wasn't great. I found a clip on youtube that had a flip book noise and I downloaded it. 

Then I chose a part of the clip that I wanted, I used the section grab tool and I pulled that section out, put it over the top of our video and then deleted the rest of the sound.

(The text is on the top, the fade is on the bottom and the music is the green sound bar.)

I exported it to our Media server and here is the finished product: 

Overall, I think this was really successful. It was difficult trying to get the sound to link with the clip, but when I showed other people they didn't know the difference. We will be using this in our final piece as our home made production company.
