Post Production: Titles

For the titles of our film opening we considered the font type and size to best suit the conventions of our film opening. Many of our titles were created through the use of 3D Camera Tracker when panning shots were being done. This was completed and amended further in Adobe After Effects and then converted over to Adobe Premiere Pro in order to use on our film opening. Here is an example of titles used within our film opening:

We considered many different options for our titles for our film opening, experimenting with different fonts before deciding which one best suited our film opening. Our main film cuts sharply into a climax of the music at the end of the opening to end the tension that was created during it and then title fades into the next scene for effect.

We decided on a simple font for our film opening because we felt this best represented the genre and tension in the film opening well. Therefore, with it being sharp text, it represents how the tension has a sharp climax. Furthermore, the text is very plain which correlates with the mood of our film, being dark and not very vibrant. As shown below, the title credit is slanted to represent the character walking across the path and the mood that is created as he walks across the symbol for effect. 

The titles and credits in our opening appear alongside our footage and in white text so that they stand out, however, the final title is shown by itself, as this is the most important title and will have the biggest effect to reinforce the tension created within our film opening as it appears on the climax of our sound track.
