Task 2: Add graphics to the video

Combine the video footage with graphics. For this purpose you can refer to online resources and gather ideas. Use the following pointers while adding graphics:

• Choose bright background and props that complement      your video. If you do not have access to software, use chart paper to      write out points, or a blackboard, or the computer screen to type out      letters or words. Keep in mind the contrast between font and the      background for good readability and impact on audience. 
• Choose an appropriate font style for video titles or text      to suit the emotion of your video.

The end product should illustrate your active selection and use of color and contrast. Upload the final footage after combining graphics.
