12. This was practicing with different titles and how I could perhaps do a credit sequence. This was part of the practice that went into using the whole program as well not just the title tool. This particularly helped with the effectiveness of how I went about getting ‘clips’ and placing them in the ‘Clip’ and ‘Timeline’ screen.

13. I then proceeded to practice with actual clips that I filmed and sound that I recorded.I also then practiced using different effects. This practice really helped me as when I came to do the final editing it sped the process up – I could get working as soon as my filming was completed instead of messing around at the beginning of the year. There are a few user problems when it comes to Adobe Premiere Elements certain aspects are hard to use and take a lot of getting used to. So there was a lot of wasted time practicing and ‘learning the ropes’.

14. To begin the poster I used a ‘default’ one that I created. I then added different backgrounds, (photos) and then proceeded to change the text – this can be seen in the next slide. This helped as I wrote this out before I took my photos – this ‘default’ led to the type of photos I took – I knew the type of look I wanted to go for and incorporate. I also finds Adobe PhotoShop very user friendly, it allows me to work quickly and efficiently.

15. The evidence that I ‘played’ with the text and how they suited different photos. Using different photos helped me to experiment with different texts, (sizes, colour etc.), I discovered that certain texts worked with different photos – I could then use that colour, size etc for my different constructs. I kept the poster minimalistic so as to save time however I think they are by no means less effective. As I chose to keep them simple I only used the ‘Text’ tool and the ‘Transform’ I did place some effects on the texts - such as the credits at the bottom. I did this by using the layer tool at the side.
