The program "LiveType" which has already been installed onto the Apple Macintosh computers appears as a complex program to fully understand. Originally, I anticipated to use LiveType to generate a more professional look for my teaser trailer "Lost", however, after following 'basic tutorials' on Youtube, I felt that I wouldn't be able to create the precise 'look' that I want, which consists of a type-writer effect. After further experimenting with Final Cut Express, I realized that there was already a 'type-writer' effect installed. Even though the transitions aren't as 'skilled' and 'professional' looking as I would have wanted to create, I feel that it's basic enough to get the idea across to my specific target audience.
A screen grab showing the four projects that I undertook in a double lesson. I experimented with various fonts such as "Perpetua" which created the 'basic' type-writer effect that I originally anticipated to create.
The tutorial which helped me to understand LiveType, thus concluding in the short projects above is this tutorial created by Tekstuff. I started watching this tutorial, then becoming engaged with the transitions between texts. The main one which I used was called "Reverberator".
