We used Motion to create our titles because we thought it would be the best programme as it has a variety of fonts and behaviors we can choose from. We started going through different fonts to begin with and it took quite sometime choosing the desired font because there are over 100. We were looking for a quite classic yet modern enough font to suit our target audience and characters in the film. Because our genre is romance and our characters are teenagers we went for something more on the romantic/classic side. From our research we saw that romantic films targeted to an older audience has more of a classy looks whereas a teenage romance has more of a diary like font. We chose to incorporate both types in our titles. As behavior (the motion of the text) we used scale in and scale out due to how it was the most simple yet sophisticated type of motion.
The font we chose is called "Apple Chansery" and it was the most suitable one for our film opening. The colour we chose is white due to how in our opening scenes there is a lot of green involved. The grass is almost like a plain green background and we thought it would be a great idea to place our title there because the contrast is visible. It says 'A Bad Romance Production' because we followed examples of real films and noticed that the name of the production company is always showed at the beginning.
The second thing that our titles say is 'in association with Sir John Cass media'. This is because as we did our research we saw that there are different things that each film says. Usually they say 'in association with and another company name. We placed the text at the bottom right of the shot because we hought we should place it somewhere as in the precious scene we placed it at the bottom left. The colour is still white.
Me and Fabiha chose the name of the film while making the titles. We looked at different names that are really famous such as Titanic and noticed that most of the time the title of the film tells a bit of the plot. That is why we chose to name our film 'Irregular' since our characters are not regular characters and when they get together they will not be just a regular couple.
We made the font really big and placed it in the middle of the screen so that it grabs the attention of the audience. The colour is still white because after trying out different colours this is the one that stood out the most. The title moves from the top of the screen to the middle so that is a special effect.
We made our titles on Motion which was a new technology to us. It took us a a whole day to make these as we had not idea how to use the programme. That is why before making the final titels and exporting them on final cut we actually made samples just like we did with the sound.
This time we uploaded them Youtube too, so it is easier to share and look back at.
This writing says "A bad Romace Production" which is going to be the first line that will appear in the beginng of the film opening. The font we chose is called "Apple Chansery" and the size is 26. We thought it was suitable font for our genre because it is nt too classic and old fashioned and perfect for the audience we are targteing which is teenagers. The behaviour we chose is called ""scale in" and "scale out" which is a soft, slow motion. I think it is perfect for our genre because since it is romance everything should be on the softer side and the editing of titles.
CHANGES:
The colour is the only thing that i do not think will work once we export it onto our film opening because the purple migh not look good on the green background. The titles will go on the first few scenes which are settings and the scenes are mostly green ebacuse our establishing setting is a park. I think we will have to change the colour into white.
This writing says "In association with Sir John Cass Media" and will be the second line to appear in our film opening towards the beginning. Everything inlcuding font, size and behaviour is the same as the line before.
CHANGES:
The only change we are going to make is again, change the colour as we think that the pink will look odd on the green background. We are going to change it to white. This is because not only it looks good and has a good, visible contrast with the green background but also because the white connotes innonce and tranquillity, which represent the female character in our film opening.
Finally, the title of the film which is "Irregular" will come on the screen at last after all the other titles. The font is still the same apart the size. The size is pretty big, 40, because we had to make it stand out as this is the main title of our film. The motion we chose is called 2slide down" and it has a sliding motion downwards. We will place the title right in the middle of the screen.
CHANGES:
Again, the only change made will be the colour of it from purple to white because it will have a better contrast against the background.
