3. 1.Art of the Title
What is art of the Title
Art of the Title is the leading online publication on the creative process behind title sequence design,
spanning the film, television, conference, and videogame industries. The website allows audiences to
blog analyse video clips of notable title sequences from film and television.
How the website benefits me and the skills I
have taken from the website
This website benefits me because:
• It shows me examples of OTS’S from all genres not just horror.
• It gives me an idea of the sort of pace I should be incorporating into
my editing based on these Title sequences
• It inspires my knowledge in terms of getting ideas for narratives.
What skills have I learnt from these title sequences :
• How to order my credits
• Gives me ideas on sizing and Font of credits
• Credit animation and its relation to its subgenre of horror
• Narrative ideas
• Gives me knowledge about composition of shots e.g. establishing
shots, close ups etc.
• I have learnt the relevance of having a linear or non linear OTS
dependant on its subgenre and storyline.
Here you can see the comparison between our
OTS and Gone Girl and we saw the
effectiveness of placing the credit in the
bottom hand corner - draws your eye to both.

4. 2.1001 Free fonts
What is 1001 Free fonts
1001 Free fonts is a website that allows you to download fonts that are free for
commercial use.
How the website benefits me and
the skills I have taken from the
website
This website benefits me because:
• It has a range of credit fonts
• They match a font with the relevance of a genre
• They are free to download
• It gives me inspiration for credit fonts and it helps me to
visualise what it would look like when typing in your
preferred credit.
• The fonts are easily downloadable.
What skills have I learnt from these title sequences :
• I have gained knowledge on what fonts to use
• I know how to apply these fonts to the credits in the OTS.
Here I'm looking up specific fonts
that are relevant to our OTS
subgenre of possession.

7. Sony handycam – Flip out screen
How the flip screen benefits me and the
skills I have taken from using it
This flip screen has benefits me because:
• Allows you too see what you are filming – this helps sort out any
issues with setting beforehand etc.
• You can change camera settings when filing before initially editing
on final cut such as colour correction and brightness etc. - due to
digital software.
• If you are filming and acting simultaneously and the camera is on
the tripod, you could flip the screen so that you can see if you are
in the right frame.
What skills have I learnt from this feature:
• I have learnt how to film with the camera in my hand
• I have now learnt how to do a variety of shots such as a POV
shot as I can see what I am filming
• I can set up a composition within the view of the camera.
• I have mastered how to film myself without a cameraman
POV shots

8. Sony handycam – Playback function
How the playback function benefits me
and the skills I have taken from using it
This playback function benefits me because:
• Allows you to watch back your footage instantly without delay
• Can get other opinions from different audience straight away from
the digitally saved clip. This is useful as you are able to pick up on
mistakes instantly rather than in the editing stage. Can playback
footage to compare to other clips.
What skills have I learnt from this feature:
• Having the playback feature leaves less room for error and so I am
more watchful of any mistakes that may come up in filming.

10. Screencast-O-Matic
What is screencast?
A screencast is a digital recording
of computer screen output, also known as
a video screen capture, often containing
audio narration.
When was it used?
It was used to answer an evaluation
question on our OTS draft 1 and final draft.
This software was useful as it enabled us to
reflect on our video as a group and point
out things in real time.
The software was good as you could pause
and restart anytime . This software also
helped me learn how to analyse my work
better and to be able to pick out
improvements and this is useful when
attempting to improve a piece of work.
