Planning Blog: Title Design

The opening credits of my film will appear in two different digital fonts that appear to be "typed" in the middle or right/left corners of the film. Some credits will be embedded into the setting. For example, their may be credits written in places such as the front of the home, the kitchen, the loft and on kitchen tools such knives.  Working title: "Shadow of Betrayal" The title will be in the font called "ITC Serif Gothic", all words will appear capitalized: SOMETHING ALONG THIS LINE.  My titles will be "typed" onto the screen onto the screen and will appear to be being typed while appearing on the screen. They will disappear of the screen using the fade out affect. Each title will stay on the screen around 2-4 seconds each.  The fonts will range from the colors black, white, and red. The titles will will have the Gothic font while the names will have basic fonts. Looking something like this DIRECTED BY: Michelle Martinez The titles before each

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

  Hey Michi nation, welcome back to your favorite blog!  Today begins the title research adventure. After much research over the last week my group and I have decided on ‘Art of the title’ website due to many reasons. One of them being how easy it is to manage. The website has a really easy layout to understand in comparison with other websites. My group and I also appreciate the fact the websites has articles on different filmmakers. This website compare to other options has recent movies which is very important. We live in a time where we all like a “clean” look so it’s very important to get modern ideas. Modern movies hold a different feeling compare to 80’s to 90’s movies. This is why we chose art of the titles from all the other options out there. Tune in for next time Michi nation! - Xoxo Michelle
