The document discusses the choices made for the titles and opening credits of a film. It describes selecting a dark background in red and black to convey danger and mystery and fit the scary genre. Different fonts were tested to find one that was chilling and matched the film's tone, ultimately choosing a scripted/handwritten style. Various title positions were also tested to suggest things changing and relate to the film's contents. Feedback from friends was gathered on the font's intended effect.

1. Opening Titles

2. Titles
As the main background for our titles we
decided the use this background. We
thought that is fitted in with the genre of
the film well. This was due to the scary and
freaky nature of it, creating tension
towards the audience and adding to the
suspense. We then went on to use
different fonts that would link in with this
background well. The use of the two
different colours of red and black work well
together this is because they both convey
similar meanings. Red is associated with
danger, which also links in blood. Black also
has a similar meaning to this with
power, death and mystery which is what
we want our film to convey.

3. Fonts
We have tried and tested various different fonts and title positioning so that we
could find the satisfy's the audience. We thought that we could keep the font
the same throughout however change the positioning of the different credits as
this will suggest that things are changing which related to the contents of the
film. In order to decide upon the perfect font that is fit for our genre and story
we decided to play around with different fonts, including computer generated
fonts and hand written. We knew we wanted white font because it will show up
on the background well, it also represents 'Rosie's' personality, being innocent
and vulnerable. First editing we decided to go for something simple, and hard
like the mans personality. Here we have used Andale Mono font in the first
image. We agreed this was too simple for the genre and it needed to be chilling
and personal to Rosie. So then we decided to find a more scripted/handwritten
look to use.

4. After choosing our deciding font we then created
titles that we are going to use in our opening
scene. This was to make sure that it created
the right effect. We then went on to test this
with our friends seeing what effect this has on
them and what they associate the font with.
We thought the different positioning of each
title would add to this effect, showing that
things are changing. These are a few more
examples of the different positioning as well
as some of the titles that will be used.
