Storyboard/ Opening Credits

Then we made a story board of our opening title sequence so that we would now each frame for filming. For the opening titles we came up with the idea that we would produce a stop motion video using my partners Digital camera to take pictures of a sequence of clothes forming the words 'Shabby Chic'.

She produced this stop motion animation using an SLR digital camera placed on a tripod; taking individual shots of the items of clothing being moved and then repeating the process until she had an entire sequence. Then she imported the photos onto windows movie maker and adjusted the picture duration so that it would last for 0.125 seconds, therefore making a fast transition from photo to photo so that the clothing looks animated. She added 10 extra frames that she edited on Adobe Photoshop using the Cut out effect. Over the original layer she added the edited layer and adjusted the opacity so that it gradually increased and on the final frame in the sequence the opacity is at 100%.

Here is the first frame from the sequence

Here is a frame in the sequence towards the end, when the editted layer is 50% opacity over the original layer

Here is the final frame in the sequence.
