The document analyzes rough cuts of a title sequence and credits. It finds that the original credits were poorly done and missing important information. A second attempt introduced new credits but they were hard to read and the font did not fit the film's theme. Special effects were then added but made the text too difficult to read. The conclusion states that more work is needed to improve the credit order and typography.
2. Rough Cut 1: Credits
In the original title sequence the credits shown on screen were very poorly done.
As you can see, there is a complete neglect in the appropriate crediting of roles such as
director, actors, photography etc.
This is very crucial in our title sequence as it follows the generic codes of film in the media
industry as well as provides the viewers with information they may need. In addition the
typography is not very visually appealing, the colour is not very visible and does not attract
viewers. The font used is also very atrocious and looks odd, it does not compliment the tone
of our film.
3. Rough cut 2: Font and change
After the first initial rough-cut, we decided that the whole title sequence’s credits needed to be re done. We
decided to introduce all appropriate roles and credits to our sequence such as directing, actors, photography,
music by etc.
-We wanted to introduce new credits that seemed dramatic whilst being simplistic.
-However, after reviewing the titles and getting feedback from our audiences, we realised that the titles need to
be re-vamped yet again. One crucial reason is the fact the way the credits are positioned really distract the
audience making it hard to read.
-The typography again, does not compliment the visuals shown on screen. The font is very generic, and seems
overall boring and dull. Despite us all deciding that we wanted simple typography, we wanted to ensure that the
text would both stand out and fit the theme of our film being a psychological thriller.
-This is all due to the lack of communication as a group and the time we had to our titles as we had to rush them
in.
4. Rough cut 2: Special Effects
After reviewing our first title sequence,
we decided that we wanted to add an effect that
would compliment the credits making them “seem”
scary and look more interesting. We went into adobe
after effects and created new credits and used the
animation jiggy. The problem with this title is the fact that
it is very hard to read due to the shaking effect and the blur.
We decided that it would be better to remove the effect as a
whole so that the audience can read the titles properly and
possibly decide on a foggy effect or a fade in.

5. Conclusion
In conclusion it is apparent that the lots more work on
the credits is needed. We need to work on the order of
the titles as many of them were placed in the wrong
places. In addition, we need to change the
typography as a whole.
