Editing - background music pratice
One of the music clips I found on a royalty free music site was a piano piece called "memories". I decided to experiment with this clip and reverse the audio using after effects to see what kind of mood and effect it created.
I then transformed this into an mp3 using premiere pro and edited it together using windows movie maker to see if it worked as an introduction to the documentary, in which i also used the original music clip and one of the interview clips with this;
Although you can't hear the interviewee very well in this clip, the music used in the introduction fits well in terms of timing and is good for setting up a good atmosphere.
Planning - background music
To create a good atmosphere, I will be using background music to create a positive and uplifting feeling. I have put together a list of 8 songs in which may potentially be used in my documentary, in which come from either bensound.com or incompetech.com both in which are royalty free music sites that allows you to use the music provided freely without being sued by the artist;

Titles - final font and colour scheme
This is what my main titles will look like using the font and colour scheme;
Planning - Titles typography
Due to target audience research, I have had to rethink the texts to use for my titles. The actual font itself needs to be bold and related to the theme of video games, in which limits my options down to 2 different fonts. I have re evaluated different fonts using Fontspace and discovered other various fonts to use for my titles;
font 5 (from Legend of Zelda)
font 6 (from Assissins Creed)
font 7 (from Pokemon)
Out of these fonts, the best that meets the criteria and stands out personally are fonts 3 and 5. To test whether they work with the colour schemes, I then put them into a white font against a pastel blue/pastel purple background;
After trying out these fonts matching them to the correct criteria, I believe font 3 using the purple and white colour scheme will be the best choice for the final titles.
Planning - Titles target audience research
To help decide which font to use, I have used a questionnaire to get through to my target audience. Because my target audience are aged between 13-24, they are more likely to be in touch with modern technology and so using an online questionnaire would be more convenient to them. Here are the results I collected from the questionnaire;
And so according to the responses from my target audience, my main titles needs to;
- Be Bold
- Reflect on the genre of the documentary
- Be based off the theme of video games
- Use pictures or animations
- Use a colour scheme of either white/blue or white/purple
- Match to credits and other titles used in terms of colour scheme and font style

Planning - Title fonts
I have investigated various types of fonts from vast media platforms (e.g. games, films, etc) to get an idea about what kind of font to use for my titles. I have used the website http://www.fontspace.com/ to look into various fonts that relate to these titles and out of the options these are the ones that stood out;
Font 8
To get a better idea about which font to use, I will ask my target audience which ones they prefer, in which once all my date has been gathered I can count in the results and use them to my advantage.
