Reframing the Interface 11- Post-Production Part 3

When I had all of the interview and cutaways in place and in an order that makes sense, I could begin on properly organising the titles and putting them into the film at the right time. I firstly made a bin for all of the titles so it would be easier to find a certain sub-title. The subtitles makes the characters in the archive photos even clearer, I would add a date and title to the corner of the picture generally, or I would explain how old the character was at the time, for instance a young picture of Tony would have 'Tony aged 17':

For the sound of the film, I went through all of the interviews and made sure that the levels were similar. Some interviews for instance were louder than others, naturally because of the differientating volume of different individuals voices, for instance Doug spoke a lot softer and quieter, so I had to increase the levels on his interview. Once I had done this I listened back to all of the interview footage and found that all of the levels were very similar, peaking at the same number.

I then decided to work on the titles for the film, and I felt that the typewriting effect in After Effects gave for a more interesting experience than just having a still text image introduce the film.

Overall I am quite satisfied with the titles I have produced and I feel the sound of typing works well.
