Our finished film

Titles...

When showing our piece to the teachers they said everything was great (or 'wicked' as Miss B says) but they both did comment on how bland our titles were, they didn't fit with the overall feel of our piece.

Being the only member of my group available, i decided to work on them. I went to Mr Deans who introduced me to a program, iMovie, on the Mac computer that allowed us to create animated and excting titles for our film.

We looked at LOADS of different styles and managed to pick our a few good ones (this was done a week ago with the whole group). I then narrowed it down to a couple, and myself and Mr Deans checked out which ones worked best.
Our favourite (as a group) however was a title animation called 'Bad Connection'
Looking at it again i saw it really worked and looked very effective. But when looking at this style on a black background (which we wanted) it didn't work very well.

Back to stage one...
We had to go back and search through all of them again. Then Mr Deans remembered one he thought might work, and in fact one we had looked at last time.
It was called 'static' and created an effect where the letters appeared in a random order to then create the word, but the lettters came in one by one. It looked very effective and i really liked it.

Now to choose a font..
It didn't take long to look through as i liked one called 'Bank Gothic' which worked well and looked very professional. Then Mr Deans created the titles, with me assisting, and telling him how they needed to be. And Voila! Our titles were done

I put them onto our timeline, made them the right time and slotted them in place. When watching the piece as a whole it looked great. It looked whole, real, brilliant

I really like them and enjoyed learning how to make the titles.
