Peer feedback improvements

After showing our opening scene to people outside the class, a point that we had to improve upon was the placement of the credits.
 
When editing to start with, we thought it would be creative to fit the names into the shot by placing them on objects and parallel to straight objects you could see in the picture - for example, 'Kelsey Parker' lies parallel to the edge of the crate that Lucy, the dead body, is lying on.
 
Feedback we got for this was that although it was creative and worked well, some of the text was too slanted in order to fit the picture. There is a part of the clip where the name 'Kelly Wilson' comes up as the role of the costume creating, when as the killer I'm chasing Kelsey in the field. It lies in the direction of the path on the screen, and looks too slanted compared to the minor slants that the rest of the credits were at in order to fit in well. Therefore it looks out of place and makes the part messier and less professional.
 
There were a few more credits that were the same which we also changed, but this one was the most tilted. I went back to Final Cut Pro and clicked the text, choosing a more suitable place on the screen for it to go where it could still be tilted to fit in somewhere. I chose the grass next to the path as there was no real parallel line to fit it with so it went anywhere in there. Once moved into the grass, I changed the slant down from 45 degrees with the slider, so it looked a lot better.
 
This was definitely needed feedback as it suited the credits of the opening scene better, making it look more polished and efficient.
