Youtube screen overlay - Photoshop

Youtube screen overlay - Photoshop 

In order to make our film opening look as realistic as possible, we used the idea of a 'vlog' throughout the film. This was achieved through both the use of a Final Cut Pro filter and also Photoshop. This was one of many programs that we used for our film opening, these posts can be found here

• Firstly, we used a template of a youtube screen, which we then edited in order to make it look realistic. Below is an image of the original screenshot:

• The eraser tool helped us to eliminate any unnecessary text and make it our own
• We added a new title, changed the account name to suit our character and also added a new profile picture

• After editing a series of youtube templates, we then inserted the image onto final cut 
  
• We placed the image below our footage, this allowed us to resize the footage and place it  into the empty 'youtube' screen.

• This worked well as it creates the image of our character actually being a youtube star.
• This process was also repeated for the fast cut boyfriend scenes which illustrates that the killer is filming the Bf's death
• We decided to use a series of clips which included the youtube overlay because it shows her youtube journey up until the day of her 'death'
  

This was the final outcome:
