Editing Part 2

   Editing Titles/Logo

    During the 2nd filming day, as we were shooting our establishing shot of the family's house I had the idea to do a tilt up from the sidewalk towards the house and then continue upward into the sky. The reason I thought of this was because I wanted to place the title "The Seventh Lie" in the sky directly over the house.

    This is how it turned out:

    My partner Manuela was able to edit the title onto the screen by removing the background and adding it to the V2 track, that way it would only show over the video, making it clearly visible in the clip. By incorporating the title onto the establishing shot we are showing where the action is taking place, which is a household setting. By emphasizing on the title "The Seventh Lie" over the house, it hints at the lie taking over their lives and almost feeling trapped in their own home because this is where the replacement Janus and Verena's family currently live for the duration of the film opening. 

    In class, when we created our production company logo we decided we wanted it over the record player, so here it is placed by repeating the process of incorporating the title on screen. This is the last part of the opening credit scene, so we wanted it to be dramatic so the lighting and soon to be edited in classical music add to that.
