Production: Title Editing

     Today my main focus was to edit the title designs into our film. I begin with using the font copperplate to write the names of the film contributors. I made sure the names popped up in the order that I wrote on my title design blog. I tried to make the title designs pop up at satisfying times. 

    When filming, I specifically tried to focus the camera on one object. Sometimes I even focused the camera on one object and then focused it on the background. I did this so when I put the title designs, I can specifically put it on the focused area and then fade the text out when the object unfocuses. I also tried to align the title designs with music and other sounds. However, there were some conflicting areas where the music didn’t match up with the focusing. I had to make the decisive decision to favor alignment with the camera focusing rather than the music. I also made sure there were no texts during transitions or black out moments. I displayed each title design for 3 to 7 seconds. I used a color scheme of black, white and red. Overall the tactics I used made the title design more coherent and developed a sense of flow in my film.

Regarding the font, I chose the copperplate because it is a common font used for thriller films. For example, upon researching, I found that it was used in American psycho. Jack and I took much inspiration from this film. I felt that the font was a very good at conveying m a thriller like sense.

Now all that was left with editing was the title design for the title of our film. This would be a different font and take me more time to edit as the words are supposed fade off a prop onto the screen.
