J.R. Test Shoot of Text Bubbles

Today we decided that creating a test edit of the text bubbles would allow us to identify any problems that we may encounter earlier on opposed to later on in the editing stages when we could be limited with time. Overall the outcome of this edit surprised all three of us turning out better than excepted, however there were still some faults in the text bubble designs that could be amended for our final production.

After creating a simple range of shapes on Photoshop and merging the layers together we decided on a suitable rounded font which would be clear and easy to read as an audience would have to be able to read these text bubbles in the given time that the shot is shown in our final production. Furthermore this will result in us having to plan our shoots in regards to positioning of them in the timeline within the premiere file, and the dimensions of the text bubbles in correlation to the shot. Additionally the text must be planned out to support the narrative we are trying to create in our music video. Another feature which we have noticed in this preview edit is the fact that the green bubble is shown to be aimed in the opposite direction to the phone, therefore when creating this text we must ensure that the templates for the speech bubbles work co-excitingly with the props (phone in most case).

Moreover, to save some time in the Photoshop side of this design we will create several templates which will allow us to stick to a certain set of dimensions for the text bubbles and additionally using the colour code on the colour pallet we are able to ensure that there will be no colour difference in the variety of text bubbles.
