Title Research

At the end of our editing we started to think about what titles we would want over our opening sequence. We were recommended to look at Art of the Title for inspiration and ideas. This really helped because it had lots of different title sequences that would look perfect for a thriller like ours.

The titles we wanted to include are: 

• Director
• Producer
• Cinematography 
• Makeup Artist
• Editor
• Actors
• Production Company

In the lesson we discussed when we want the titles to be, during the footage or at the end. We then spoke to Matt and he said that having credits over the top of the footage will detract from the action, we all agreed on this. So we decided that we might have the production company at the beginning and maybe one other title and then leave the rest until the end. 

Using the Art of the Title helped us to come up with a basic title idea. Sasha came up with the idea that the tile "Floorboards" could get carved into the surface with a messy handwriting font and this goes well with our thriller idea. We then agreed to use a normal font for the rest of the credits so people don't get to caught up in them. 


We liked the look of Sevens title sequence:
