Making the Opening Titles

While the rest of the filming for the film was being done, I needed to take our ideas for the opening credits / titles and create ones suitable for our own thriller film.

From our previous research we found that the typical thriller film makes use of a sanserif font. We found some various fonts.

"Lucky Typewriter"

"Last Draft"

"Harting"

In the end we made a group descision on using the 'Harting' font. With this in mind I went on to create the opening Titles for the opening.

Screen Shots of making the Title Sequence:

The previous ones were made in photoshop as it was more efficient for someone else to make them quickly outside of Premier in order to save time.

Making the TypeWriter effect was more time consuming, however we felt it would be worth the time spent. We planned to only have this typewriter effect for the character introductions, e.g. Jack of Spades etc.

To do this, I used the timeline in Photoshop to create a gif, making the letters appear rather sharply, like an actual typewriter. We again used the Harting font as we have learnt that it's best to keep these consistent to prevent any confusion within the audience.
