Titles

 

 

I was nominated for the role of creating the titles for our opening sequence, and as I didn't like using the same program as the footage and sound was edited on to create them, I decided to use a different program called Adobe After Effects which allowed me to add transitions and focus entirely on the titles.

 

I opted for a simple layout for the titles which was a black background with a bold, white font as this would stand out and look professional.

 

The first title would be positioned right at the start of our sequence and therefore represented our group with our production company's name which was a mixture of the first two letters of each of our names LaNiCh.

The name of our thriller was then projected onto the screen 'Snatched' which represents the idea of the boy being kidnapped. I added a transition which would then lead into the opening sequence footage so I knew it had to be powerful and dramatic, and I was able to create a shattering effect of the text which along with the music worked well.

 

The titles at the end of the opening sequence were all the same font and layout. I then decided to keep the transitions for each title the same and these entered with a transition which slowly developed the word letter by letter until all of the text was on show.

After the text has been on screen for around 2 seconds, another transition occurs where the text begins to fade in waves.

This transition continues and the text exits through a fading spiral of the letters.This continues throughout all of the titles that come on screen.
