Using Photoshop within our Production

Title Sequence

The main programme we used to create our title sequence was 'Adobe Photoshop CS4'.

We used it to create a water-colour/sketch look to the title backgrounds to fit in with the story and with the period.

Here are the steps we took to do this. 

1.  We started with a screenshot from our footage of our main character Billy.

2.  We then needed to change the colour of the image similar to a parchment paper colour.  We did this by going to 'Photo Filter'.

3.  We then needed to add an effect that would make the image look like it has been hand-drawn/painted.  We went to 'Filter Gallery' to find a effect....

4.  We chose to use the 'Water-colour' filter.

5.  For the last stage, we wanted to add a texture to the image.  We decided to use 'cross-hatch'.
