Presentation, Fonts, and Foley

After finishing all my filming, I transferred all my clips to Final Cut Pro. Here, I continue the phase of the post-production process: editing. 

Today, the main parts I focused on were the titles, the intro, and the foley.

First, I used a template form Final Cut, which was perfect for presenting the production company. Then, I created an intro for the movie with Canva to introduce the film's title and the credits. 

 I added the name of my production company in a different font than the rest of the project. 

FONTS

Afterward, I just added the credit sequence to my first few scenes. Final Cut is perfect for finding more fonts and effects.  IMovie has a limited library, so I had fun choosing some options. 

This is my final choice:  I used the Koratati font, size 97. I also used the glow effect to give it more light and used red for the credit sequence because red's meaning in film is danger and evil.  Besides, this color contrasts perfectly with my film's black and white style.  Korataki is a tech font. 

I found its look at myfonts.com

So, I have it on FinalCut. This is how I am working on it!  Of course, I want you to see the final product, but you must wait a little because I don't want to spoil it. 

Foley

Foley's technique is challenging, but I've already worked on it in another project for this class. We watched videos showing how this technique can improve a film's sound direction. I talked about it in a previous post (read here).

For my opening, I worked with a couple of foley. One is about a distorted noise that my character hears through his headphones. To achieve this, I took two karaoke microphones, connected them to my speaker, and completed the distortion I sought.

The other foley is related to some sounds that Daniel, my character, hears and doesn't know where they come from, something like Scratch, Scratch, Scratch, etc. These are the same microphones I managed to generate when I rubbed them on a carpet. Here, you can see it.

Well, I'm getting closer to presenting my project. Work is still to be done, but I can show it through my blog in less than 10 days.
