Editing Blog: Titles Titles Titles

     Today March 12 and last class, March 10 my group and I continued to edit. For the first day one of my group-mates was given the job to do the titles. The titles were very difficult to add for him because he had never used the software before. Because he didn’t know how to move the titles, he put majority of the titles very large and in the middle of the screen. When I reviewed this I told him to move the titles so they didn’t cover the screen and so they did not all look the same. When he tried to edit them he accidentally made all of the shots black so the whole movie could not be seen on the screen. No one knew how to fix this and we all went in a little bit of a panic. But I looked it up and found that it was a typical technical issue and that our project was fine. Once I fixed it we had little time in class and my group mate tried to keep working on the titles but could just not figure out how to move the titles. We decided that next class we would let him do something else because we had not done much more editing then we had started with. 
     Today when we came into class, Roscoe and I began with the titles. I went through each title and moved them to areas of the screen where both the film and the title could be seen. I also moved some titles and edited the length of them. Once I finished with this I gave the computer to Roscoe. He made all of the fonts the same and most of them black. He had to make a few exceptions because our titles are black and are not always visible in dark backgrounds. Once he finished this we gave the computer to Elijah and Zeke to work more on the music and sound. We had all of our music in already but none of us were very happy with what we had and thought we could find better music. They found music in class today but it was hard because there is only a limited selection of music with no copyright. They changed one song, but we still have a lot of work to do with the sound.
