Opening Titles

The opening titles were filmed by our group, Tom, James, Sam and myself. We decided on the theme music ourself which Tom recorded. I edited the titles and added in the music.


Recording the video clips was relatively easy. We used a slider for some shots and the rest were handheld. The mix of both techniques worked really well in the final version which looks professional. We filmed in the TV studio and made it look like it was a pause during the live show - people would be performing their roles and would stop and smile for the camera. We shot from different angles and filmed more clips than we needed. We did the slider shot of focussing on the camera then the anchor several times and we wanted to get the slider speed just right. The clips that we didn't use weren't main ones apart from the weather presenter. We tried to get a shot of quickly zooming in and out however this appeared more amateurish rather than creative so it wasn't used in the intro.

We applied colour correction to the clips of us walking in. This was done staggered, you would see us walking, see some general clips then it would resume us walking. The colour correction was a blue tint to make it fit in more with the logo colours.


There was a problem that arose with the audio. The clips combined together were too long with the audio, even with the clips trimmed. To get around this, we cut the audio at one point and trimmed it. We then looped it so it carries on for longer then fades out.
