Vindictive - Practice Production Title Analysis



The Production title was made on adobe premiere elements 10. We used this program because it is the easiest software to use  and it is the only one provided to us which gives the tools we need to make it look good.



At first I got a picture from the internet of a random picture, in this case we used the Aurora lights, we used this because it is a nice picture to use and it makes it look professional. 





After i put it onto the software i add the text box onto the image, this then shows a timeline at the bottom of the software where we edit the image and text. 
The blue line is the Video file even though it is a picture, the purple lines are the text which are added over the top.



The reason for why they are above each other is because then you can make them show up at the times you want foe example Title 08 enters in after 2 seconds this  is a good way to make the animation look good and professional
After this i put the text over the top by using the text button at the bottom of the screen this then creates a timeline bar for the text, which is the purple the line.








After i put them all in the right place for example I made the picture file last for 5 seconds which is the full length of the production credits, so for the first letter which is "C" we made it start at the same time as the video. Then the second letter comes in at around 1 second and lasts to the end. It is the same for the rest of the text as well. 










The final screen should look like this with the full animation, CWP Films which is all of our Surnames and then films.

Vindictive - Practice Titles #2



The second design we decided to look at in terms of our opening movie titles was that revolving around our various genre in movie; which is action in this case.  We incorporated a bullet in this case into our second attempt at making a title for our film as we believe that this is very effective at showcasing the action shown in our film through the chase and fight scene.

We decided that we would create the bullet and colour it gray as we believe that a darker colour was essential in our opening scene to help add effect to the title as we decided as shown that the bullet would be a good way to bring an underline over our title. We have stuck to the bold metallic styling of our previous title but refrained from making the other styling rather different so it would provide with an appropriate array of different styles of titles involving action movies.

We believe that this title would be appropriate for our film as it helps showcase the film as an action movie and is also emphatic at signifying what the film may entail if we were to carry on past the opening scene of our movie which would entice the audience into wanting to watch more of our film.

Vindictive - Practice Titles #1



We have been tasked with completing a title for our film which we will incorporate into the end of our film after the ending shot. We plan to make our titles emphasise the action movie qualities of our film and we believe this is best done with some certain aspects which we can portray in our movie title including it being: Bold
                                   - Darkly coloured
                                   - outlined
                                   - somewhat italic

This was the first practice title i made, which helps involve the title of our film but also incorporates a red sharp stripe located directly behind, this emphasises the title to the audience and allows the audience to compare this to other action movies with a similar title layout. We decided that red would be an appropriate colour behind the main title for our first practice as we believe that this can help contrast the blood and gore often associated with action films which could help the audience relate more to the title we created.

We decided that it would be best to have more than just a title as it is often portrayed in action movies that the titles are ever shown with a small design to go with it or the titles can also be portrayed over a moving camera shot. This is shown in movies such as Skyfall which showcase the title along with a panning shot of the river in which we see the protagonist fall into.

We believe that this title is suitable to use in our film as it helps portray qualities shown in action movies and also emphasises the ability of our characters and the red helps showcase what the audience may expect to see in our film if it went past the beginning.
