Film Titles

When editing titles into my opening we thought about the size, font type and colour of them as we wanted them to fit with the genre of our film. We made our titles on Premiere and decided to go with white text which had a very thin layer of black around it which made them stand out from the shots.

Before choosing our titles me and Eleanor played around with a variety of other styles to make sure that the one we finalise is definitely the one we thought was best. We decided that all our titles should be basic due to that  fitting our thriller convention.
 This is our film title that is purposely shown at the end of the film as when researching thriller movies and their titles most vary of when they're shown in the film. This is because in thriller movies there is always a plot which builds up to a climax and cover ups of important information which keeps the audience on edge.

We kept the white font however placed it on a black background which contrasts well as it stands out. This represents our main character as he is obviously seen to be different to the rest of society. All of my titles fade in and out slowly and cut of as soon as a new shot appears. By cutting the titles of it creates tension in certain shots. All the titles are placed in the same position which is the bottom left hand corner as it doesn't distract the viewers from what is going on in the shot and creates a sense of discomfort. This is an example of this: 

Just before our final title which is 'DAZED' on a black background we decided that our film opening would look more dramatic if we had a creepy shot of elliot who was our main character as it would be more exciting. When choosing a shot to do this we found a shot that was from Jacks point of view and it worked really well as elliot connects with jack with eye contact. However as by the end of the film Jack has died it makes it look as if Elliot's is now making eye contact with the audience.
