Premiere - Adding Titles To My Timeline

As mentioned in my previous blog post I had added all of my video and audio clips. In terms of my video clips these weren't long enough to cover the whole 1 minute which I needed to cover. I wasn't too worried about this though as I knew I wanted to add titles in various places and hence I could re evaluate this when I had added my titles. I began by adding a Default Still Title, this was added using the technique which I have already discussed in the

Premiere - Title Settings blog post. I simply changed the Title Properties to make this title fit with my theme. These setting can be seen in the below two screenshots.       The title design that I have decided to use is not completely consistent to that which I have used for my Photoshop and Illustrator elements. I didn't mind this aspect being different as the colour schemes are still the same. I couldn't actually use the exact same font that I used for my Photoshop and Illustrator aspects because this wasn't available. I was then able to add a graphic to this title. This was also hitting a mandatory requirement as well as adding the movie logo to my title. I decided to add a background to this title. I decided that this would be white. As you can see in my previous blog post I tired using a bright pink background however this didn't really work as intended and hence that is why I have decided to use white. I adjusted the size of the text until it filled the whole screen. This made my title big enough to be clear and read without falling out of the bleed lines. I then added this title to my Title Bin which I had created earlier. I was then able to drag this to onto my timeline and add this to the designated place. As these titles are all set to a given period of time I was able to add this to my timeline but then I needed to use the Rolling Edit Tool to make this title run for a smaller amount of time. I then decided where I would place this. I needed to place this just after the first clip in my sequence. This title added to my timeline can be seen below.      I then added a second title to my DVD Trailer. This set the scene for the beginning of the trailer. Like above I used the same technique to create a Default Still Title. I used the same title settings for this title that I did for the previous however I was able to adjust the width and height of this title to make it fit the screen better. The title and its settings can be seen in the below two screenshots.     I decided I would add this second title right after the first. This was based on the fact that it gave an idea as to what the video clips to follow would be about. This title on my timeline can be seen below.      I wanted my titles to tell a story of there own in a sense that if you took away all of the footage in between the titles would still make sense. For this reason my third title follows on from the previous. Again this is a Default Still Title. The exact Title Properties can be seen below however these again vary in terms of width and height as there is less to fit on this screen.     This clip was added to my timeline at the end of the clip where the girls are discussing what they should do to the cheating guy but before the clips roll for Paris. This is based on the fact that I wanted to split these section so you could see that place in the film has changed.  This title on my timeline can be seen below.     I then wanted to create a space between the Paris scenes and the aspects where Carrie and Owen meet again at the very end of the trailer. Again this was a Default Still Title. The screenshot below show the Title Properties which I set for this title.       This was added to my timeline before Carrie is walking through the restaurant. This title hence sets the scene for this next aspect of my trailer. Following on after the few clips which relate to this title is my final title. This is a set or rolling credits which progress to the cinema release date. To create the rolling credits I hence used the Default Rolling Title. The Title properties for this title can be seen below.     Directly after this rolling title I have added a final title which is the release date. This rolling title rolls to black at the end and hence I added a black background to the final title. The Title Properties for the final title can be seen in the screenshots below.    From here I now have made my DVD Trailer the full 1 minute. I am now happy with the footage and audio elements.
