Second day of editing Silent Temptation: Adding transitions & titles

Today's lesson was a double and so we decided to add transitions so that the clips flowed into each other more, we haven't completely finished this yet so next lesson we will hopefully finish this up.
We also decided to add titles with the name of our film noir, some of people who helped make the film and the amount of hours between the scenes before the titles and the scenes after the titles.

We chose the font type in the middle 'Zapfino', however with the style of title we picked it would not let us change the font type for the writing to the one we liked and we couldn't keep the one that it was because it was too modern and wouldn't fit in with the context of film noir. So, we searched it on google to see if there was another way to change it on iMovie, (bottom picture) but it mentioned that some fonts for certain titles could not be changed. So, then we tried typing it into a writing document in the font we liked and from there tried copying and pasting it into the iMovie title text box, but this did not work either. In the end, we gave up with the title style that we liked as it became obvious there was no way to change it and chose a title style that we liked as well where we could change the font to the one we wanted.
Finally, we could start creating the titles we needed and these were:
Name of our film noir.

Names of the some of the people who helped make the opening scene.

Time change between the two different scenes.
Here you can see the titles and transitions we have added to our opening scene.
