Editing: Day 3

After having trouble on Day 2 with my titles and switching them from LiveType onto Final Cut Express, instead I decided to use the software already on Final Cut Express to insert text over the video.  With the soft light of my video I decided to use a simple white font colour to seem natural and for the titles to not dominate the opening sequence and detract from both the action happening on the screen and the soundtrack which will be adding to the complexity and mysteriousness of the film. considering this I did not just use Times New Roman as my font type but instead a font type that adds to the oldness of the opening sequence which is apparent from all the objects on the table such as the old coins, black and white photos and other such assortments scatted around.

I have managed now to get all the titles into the film, and with all the titles now on the opening sequence I could now watch it all back. However watching it back again threw up a few problems that I now need to address such as the clips jumping. This is problem because I want the action to be one smooth flowing video and because of the closeness of all the clips I need the action to have no flaws in it.
