Our Text Editing

This is an example of the text we have recently edited over the top of our footage in a certain part of our song. We decided to do so as we believe it enhances the quirky look of our music video as well as bringing a literal meaning to it. In the song a different singer sings 'youre not dating her' therefore instead of getting someone else to perform we had the idea of putting text over the footage. In order to get the text on to our screen, we searched dafont.com to find the perfect font for our particular music video. We knew we wanted something almost cartoony as the song has a real animated feel to it, therefore we wanted to mirror this in our editing.

We decided to layer up the text in order for it to appear on the screen seperately when each lyric was sung. This was quite time consuming as we had to almost edit it like we would lip syncing, however after we did so, we were so happy with the result as we achieved the perfect timing as well as a clear link between the lyrics and the video.
