Planning Blog: Title Design

 This is our groups' title design. One of our biggest concerns was finding out our title design. No film is complete without the perfect opening sequence, so we wanted to do something that fit the originality of our film perfectly. We decided to do a theme that would fit the genre which is a thriller. We decided to input blood in the background. We wanted our sequence to be just like other thrillers. We made the words big on each slide. We wanted to do this so that the audience would be able to identify all the important people that contributed to the film. We decided to give our film the name "The Killing"; the title will vanish after it comes on the screen. In this PowerPoint, we explored our options and came to a conclusion on the design of our titles. We explored six different areas. First, we decided what fonts and how many we were using. The fonts a big part of the titles because it feeds into all the other elements. Next, we talked about how the fonts we were using contrast in color and size with one another and what's going on in the scene. Then we explored spacing. This included leading, in-between lines, and tracking, in-between spaces. Then we came up with a working title for our movie. Then we worked on how the titles will enter and leave the screen along with where they will appear. Lastly, we said how long the titles will appear on the screen throughout the two minutes. This was all a group effort.
