As I looked into videos to reserach kinetic typography, one video I found was based on a scene from the television show, Breaking Bad. The creator used black and white to show who is talking and when. The character Skylar uses black text on a white background, and Walt uses white text on a black background.
One aspect of the video that I felt was successful was how the creator used black and white to separate who was talking, and the types of transitions they used whenever the other person began to talk. They manage to accomplish these very clearly with nothing but simple shapes, text, and black and white.
An interesting way that the creator accomplishes this is through bubbles, that give an eerie vibe which fits the scene, that linger until the other person begins to talk, rather than something suddenly appearing. The creator also uses bubbles to allow on character to interject a small phrase in a small section of the screen, while keeping the background the color of the more major character that is speaking at the moment.
