Opening sequence credits editing process

Opening sequence credits editing process

This is the composition tab were the clips are kept and you can transform shapes and any text through moving them on an an axis.

The text need to be masked over so that it can hide behind verticals during the opening this vital so that it gives the world a depth and realising.

Once drawn on you have to manipulate the mask  around the object in the clip that you want to hide the text behind, you do this though creating separate anchor points throughout the clip this allows the mask to move around the screen with the moving object.

For the credit section of our opening sequence we used After Effects as it gives a professional finish to the credit section. We wanted to hide the text behind cars driving past in an attempt to make our opening sequence as professional as possible, to do this we needed to use masking. We did this through watching a watching tutorial videos on youtube. This is the video which we took note from and used to develop our masking skills. I already had some experience working with after effects having a trial run with the program when we had the idea of incorporating a Sherlock element within the film however this idea was dismissed along with the idea of our opening sequence.
