During the editing process and today's lesson we decided to add another feature commonly seen in the popular TV series Sherlock, it consists of the camera movement slowing down with a vast array of words and sentences describing the character on screen and possibly hinting towards the audience the reason why this particular character is targeted or wanted for example we decided to include phrases such as 'BNP Supporter' and 'Police Officer' causing the audience to speculate the reason for him being targeted. The program that I used was to insert these words into the footage is called After Effects and the screenshots below show my practice run using the program. From having a practice attempt at using this program I identified some problems and possible improvements for when we include this in the final sequence these included:
1) The amount of phrases used, as seen in Sherlock there are many different words which are only onscreen for a split second but have a profound effect on the audience.
2) The movement the words take. After a long process of trial and error we finally came up with the movement of the words flying across the screen, we decided on a very slight movement making the word readable for the audience.
3) When recording the footage we didn't take into account the fact that the sequence would look better with a quick zoom in, we were able to do this within the programme itself however the end result was more pixelated ao when it finally comes to refilming small parts of our opening sequence we will take a high resolution picture to keep the shot looking sharp.
