2. Real Media Texts
A real media text that was used for our type of film was SE7EN as this
really suited out genre of film and the type of style of text that we
wanted to use. When the title of SE7EN appears it flickers onto the
screen using a transition which we tried to input into our trailer which
has a big effect onto the film. The font of the text matched our film also
which helped us with the selection of the font as it matched all of our
other titles such as the producer, executive producer etc. We also
looked at Casino Royale as this was very effective in the trailer for the
film as it represented the character using the titles which had a big
impact on the film trailer. We produced the title in After effects and used
multiple time frames and effects to make it look as best and as realistic
as possible which matches our film.
3. Our Titles
We used multiple titles on our trailer including names of the characters
e.g. Joe Turner, Sam Stockwell and also produced by and executive
producer. These were all simple fonts as we thought they looked most
effective and were best at fitting into the shots that we had. Our title is
very similar to SE7EN as this titles creates an impact on the audience as
it shows the genre of the movie and attracts other audiences who like
these similar genre films.
4. Feedback from Survey
We used a survey to collect our feedback and we found out that most people have
agreed that the titles for our film should be formal and blocked as this suits our
genre the most. We decided to use this and everyone agreed that it was the most
effective out of the rest that we tried in our rough cut. This benefitted us as it
makes our trailer look more effective compared to the rough cut. Not only this but
this helped us produce the title of the film as this suited our genre of film most by
adding a small effect and slowing the time down to make it flicker to build a bigger
effect.
