Dexter Re-Edit Evaluation

Our task for the 'Dexter' Re-Edit was to create a new title track for the Dexter opening sequence, for this we were given a clip of the Dexter opening sequence which was edited so that it didn't

1. Summarise the conventions of the ttile sequnces that were most important to this task
The titles had to be standardized throughout the scene
They had to include roles of everyone involved in the production of bunvit
They had to match with the color scheme of Dexter


2. How did your group plan to edit the sequence?
We decided to edit the sequence so that a title would come up at key scenes where there was space in the background to write our titles into.
As none of us had scene the clip before, it was interesting to see how close we came to the original

3. Explain the creative decisions made by your group
We decided on a dark maroon color for our fonts, this seemed to initially fit in with the color scheme of dexter on our smaller screen with a higher resolution, however we discovered that on a larger screen, some of the text on a darker background was hardly visible

Some of our titles also had a slanted effect which again, made the titles harder to read which wouldn't have been the case in the original title sequence of 'Dexter'


4. How does your reedit compare to the original
Some of our titles seemed to be in the same places as those which were placed by the dexter editors. However the color used by the original is lighter in color and a lot easier to read against dark and light backgounds. Also, there were many more titles in the original, around 22 whereas our re-edit didn't have so many.
