Editing the credits

On Adobe, I've been working on our credit sequence and title. We start the opening off with the credit sequence, and then it transitions into the title, so I thought it would be fitting for me to start with this. The credits are going to be five photos of Anabella and her parents, from her childhood to show the life and bonds they had before the mother passed. Some of the photos are of Anabella and her mom, Anabella and her dad, or Anabella and both of her parents. The photos stay on the screen for about six seconds each, while the credit text boxes roll over them. We wanted to aim for a thirty second credit sequence, so that all the credits can roll, and the photos can sink in with the viewer because they are important establishing blocks. Our credits include, the director, producer, writer, names of the main actors, editors, cinematographer, and the copyrighted music for the three audios I talked about yesterday. We might add some more along the way if we think of any others, but we covered most of the roles that went and are going into this project.

When we learned about this project, and how to create it we learned that our title shouldn't go at the end of the opening, so we decided to have it play right after the credits. Originally, we were going to have the title appear during one of the scenes like the one of Anabella in the mirror, but we ended up with putting it over a black screen after the credits, right before we begin with the father driving home after work. We are still playing around with a few different options for the font of the title. Adobe has a lot of options, and we don't know what to choose, but we want something that looks professional (but kind of scary).
