Creating Titles

During our time of editing, myself and Alex decided we would use Adobe Photoshop to create a Picture for our title to include in our trailer.

 Our intertitles consist of a basic font which is white with a dark red shadow behind. These intertitles were created on the editing software we are using. The intertitles we have included are 'Based on a true story', ' An EA Production' and 'Three stages'. The three stages relates back to the narrative of the side effect of the tablets. The intertitle acts like an enigma code for the audience and it doesn't give away too much. We decided to use white for the font due to it being easy to read on the black background. The red also connotes blood and danger which also fits into the thriller genre. From previous research, we discovered many titles in this genre are white or red which tells the audience instantly that it is a horror or scary film.

For our main title 'Unhinged' we decided to use a website: http://www.1001freefonts.com/
This website enabled us to find many different fonts which suited different genres and emotions. We looked through many categories such as 'Horror' 'Thriller' 'Scary' and 'On edge'. We had an idea of what we wanted. We decided we wanted a bold font with blood splats or drips around the title. This is very similar to The last House on the Left.

We found the suitable font we wanted, and used Photoshop to change the colour from black to white. We also added a red glow to emphasize the use of gore and crime in our film. This was the final product:

This will appear for the length of two seconds on the end of our trailer. This shot will then be followed by another creation Alex and I made. The next shot is the very last shot seen and it is the page with all the information on. We have the release date, followed by the age rating of the film, our production company logo and where the film will be seen. There is also small simple text used at the bottom. This includes the roles of each person in the group followed by the names of the actors. This information is not relevant which is why it is in small font however, many trailers tend to follow this structure.

The release date is very important, it gives the audience an idea to make plans to see the film but it is also vital information the audience will need to consume, as well as where it would be seen. We decided our film will be shown in Curzon Cinemas due to it being a low budget film. Also our film is for people who live locally such as the Cambridgeshire area. Cambridge is a place where a Curzon Cinema exists.

We created this slide on Adobe Photoshop. We used the same website to choose the two different fonts. The font 'Coming this' is simple with white and a dark red glow in the back. This fits in with the intertitles and it is bold for the audience to see. The 'Halloween' font is different due to Halloween itself being scary and thrilling. We wanted to emphasise this through the use of the font we found. We changed the colours due to it originally being black with no glow or outline. We decided our release date would be Halloween due to it fitting the occasion perfectly, also it is a time our demographic will be able to watch it because they will not be too busy in their life schedule.
