Creating our Titles:

After building up the foundations of our documentary and deciding on the order of each interview/section of our filming, we could eventually begin to add the extra details which would enhance interest and make it more conventional for our viewer.

We spent time testing out different types of backgrounds and techniques for creating a bold and memorable title for our documentary. As we are basing our entire documentary on tattooing, we wanted to ensure that the title was a continuation of this theme and therefore asked Hazelle to send us a picture of the tattoo on her side to use as a background.

We edited the photograph on iphoto and also on imovie, we also used an effect called Ken Burns so that the shot would track down the photograph which made it look much more professional.

After using this technique, we then added the text on top of our background photo, using a transition called Pull Focus so that initially the picture would be in clear focus, then the text would become clear and then finally the photograph again would be main focus.

This was successful as it draws in the viewers attention and we decided to use the same technique for our title for Audience Feedback, an interviewing question and also End of Part One to maintain a continuity.
