Production Blog: Adding transitions and effects.

For the music video, I worked more on the editing today. I started editing the next scene which is an over-shoulder shot of the messages between the girl and her boyfriend. It shows the message of her boyfriend wanting to break up with her. For this scene, I wanted to add the text message on the side of her because it's hard to see it in the video. To do this I used the "text" tool in CapCut clicked on it and typed the messages. For each new message, I would add a new text box for it. I wanted to make it pop up like text messages do on phones. So, I went on Google to find the background of a text message as a png. Then I saved it and imported it to CapCut by dragging it and placing it behind the text to make it look like a text message. I adjusted the length of the text messages by matching it with the phone in the video. To do this I clicked on the text and spilt it by clicking on "spilt" and deleted the part to match the length. I also did this with the png of the text message so, it can match. I wanted the PNG of the message to slide up so, I chose an effect for it. The effect I chose is called "slide show" I found it in "effects" and adjusted it to the length of the video, so it would match. After I choose a transition for the next scene. The effect I added is fade-out. I found this in "Effects". This transitions from the scene in the bedroom to her walking in her neighborhood on her phone. For this scene, it shows her walking and texting on her phone. I also wanted to the text messages alongside the screen because it was hard to see them in the video. I did the same steps as before. I also used a png from the background so, it could give the effect that the texting is shown on the screen. After the scene, it transitions to night. I used the "fade-out" effect in "effects" to transition from this scene. That's all I did today. Thank you for reading and bye.
