Green Screen Typography

Green Screen Typography

Now that I was happy with my final edit, I experimented with various different fonts available on Final Cut Pro. However, I didn't think any font available would be suitable for my music video. Therefore I decided to make an image which had a green screen background with the typography I used on the digipak, in Photoshop. 

I firstly copied in a green screen background so I could get the right green. I then made the canvas bigger to minimize the chances of needing to stretch the size of the image - which will cause it to pixelate. 

I then used the typography from the front cover, and a 'Berlin Sans FB Demi' for the name of the song. I adjusted the size, to make the Esther's name bigger than song name, as I thought this composition looked professional. 

I then imported this image into final cut, and replaced the titling with the image. I listened to the beat of the music, and put a fade in and fade out where I thought was most appropriate. I then removed the green background by selecting 'Video Effects' then 'Keyer'. I then adjusted the automatic settings, as seen in the screen shot to the left, so the writing was more visible and readable.
