Opening Credits


Today we worked on putting the opening credits together and the positioning of the text on the screen. We first looked at the website, 'Art of the Title' to see what credits we will need to include, and decided on the following headings and order:

'A Silver De Courcy Film' 
'A Film by Bea Hope'
Brittany Johnston
Luke Forryan
Roz Marston
Cecy Bullard
Ranya El-Refaey

Looking back at our pre-proposals we reminded ourselves of how we wanted the text to be positioned and the font of the text. We trialled lots of different fonts within Final Cut Pro and finally decided on the simplistic font, 'Designer Thin.' We originally wanted all of the text to be white and to appear separately but we encountered problems of seeing the text on shots with white skies and so had to change some of the titles to black. We also wanted all the names to appear before the flashaback so we overlapped some of the titles so they appeared staggered but in the same frame. For the 'A Silver De Courcy Film' we followed the style of many other films with having a blackout which we will add a soundbridge to later.
