EDITING DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
Attention to detail and creativity are crucial to deliver a high-quality final product that is consistent with the feel of the whole project.
INTRODUCTION EXAMPLE
You don't have to worry about the introduction. It will be given to you with all other essential material necessary for the production.
CHAPTERS EXAMPLE
The Video is divided in chapters divided by an Earth Sunrise clip that you can download below. The font here is "CONSTANTIA" and it can be downloaded here for free: https://www.dafontfree.io/constantia-font/
TRANSITIONS EXAMPLES
Transitions are generally, "CROSS DISOLVE", "ADDITIVE DISSOLVE", "DIP TO WHITE", and in some rare cases "DIP TO BLACK" when it makes sense. See example below.
TEXT BACKGROUND EXAMPLES
NARKISIM FONT font is used across the video. Please notice that the numbers are too small, so whenever a number comes up has to be a different layer slight bigger.
You can download the font here: https://fontzone.net/font-details/narkisim
All script comes with the same background, please alternate between different parts of the length of the background so it does not seem monotonous.
Also, notice that the sentences have a slight zoom effect (becoming larger) and it depends how long is the sentence the amount of zoom effect you will have to apply so all Zoom text looks similar.
ELIMINATE VISIBLE SKIPS
In the original file, there are several instances where the video skips, as shown in the example below. Please do your best to use stock footage or be creative in editing so that these skips are not visible in the final production.

CREATIVE EXAMPLE 2
