Opening Title Planning

To decide what our opening titles would look like we decided to use the ‘LiveType’ application. We played around on the programme to discover all the different fonts and effects that we could apply to our text. It was difficult to start off with, as we hadn’t used this particular programme before so we had to test what all the buttons were for.

We found out that each effect that we added onto the text made the outline turn Blue. This was the only problem that we came across, as the Blue didn’t look very effective. To overcome this problem we encountered we found the effects section and changed the glow colour to the colour that we wanted. This made the text look more effective as there wasn’t a Blue flashing glow.

It took us a while to find the font that we wanted, as there were so many. Eventually we found the font that we thought was most appropriate for the genre of our film. Once we had chosen this font, we played around with the colour scheme and we thought the different shades of Red looked the best. We then found the button to change the glow of the flash that we chose as an effect. We then changed the colour to White.

Finally, we changed the orientation of the title so that it is tilted slightly to the left and made each letter separate from each other.
