Major Project Unit - Credits

   I took on the role of creating the end credits for 'Routes'. This is a simple yet important part for the film. It credits the actors for their roles, the crew and everyone else who helped out with the film, so it is a very important factor to consider, with out it there isn't any proof that myself or other people who worked on the film were involved with it at all.

   I found this video on youtube which taught me how to create rolling credits on Adobe After Effects which helped me create the credits. I decided to use this instead of the way I could have created it on Adobe Premiere as the Premiere credits was very basic and hard to put images in (Production logos) and did not reach the high professional standard I wanted this film to have. 




   Below is the finished credits I have made. The Producer Tim helped me with this by providing me with the list of people to put into the credits and what roles they played within it. I am disappointed slightly with the credits as I wanted to do so much more with them. My Initial idea was to instead of having colour on the text, the letters would be a stencil with video playing in the background with the most colourful cutaways being. So you would see the letters but instead of a solid colour, there would  be moving colour from the cutaways lighting them up. I felt this would be more suitable for the film and make them more interesting to look at. The reason I was unable to do this was due to time constraints, but I am viewing this as a lesson to learn by for when or if I edit or make a film ever again.
