This is how the titles will appear on the screen throughout the opening credits: “ 𝒯𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝓉𝓇𝓊𝑔𝑔𝓁𝑒” The titles will be displayed onto the screen in purple and white with a Script MT font. I chose cursive and purple because purple is known for a majestic vibe. My film circulates around the royalty of all black women in the world and how they should be seen as queens and nothing less. If needed, back up fonts will be “Monospace”. Here’s how it looks. For the font size, we decided that we didn’t want to make the font size too big or too small. So we chose the font size 20-24. We don't want the words to look like they a...

Title Research: Watch the Title Website

Image
After visiting the 'Watch the Titles Website' I was wowed by many title sequences. I visited this website to conduct research on different title sequences for my two minute project film. I will be using different title designs for my project, so it is essential that I complete some research on it before I actually get started on it. I came across many different title sequences. They all included descriptions explaining what the title sequence was made for. It also explains the process the title sequence went through to be produced. I also saw the title sequences in motion. All of which I saw were unique and creative. I learnt that important title sequence such as the ones I viewed on the website takes a lot of team work to make. Overall, these sequences all look like they took a lot of time to perfect and it amazes me how much team work and effort it takes to produce such beautiful styles.
