I have been developing the titles that will go with my horror opening sequence. For this I have been using the program LiveType.
My titles will be placed in between the action. I had a bit of trouble using the program as I am not familiar with it at all. After some struggles and some help from other students I came to a result I am happy with. All of the names are the same white font on a black background whereas the title of the film 'Bloody nightmare' is in a deep red colour and has its own font entirely different from the other titles. This is to establish its importance.
Here is the title, 'Bloody Nightmare' on Livetype. It squirms as it is drawn on the screen in a blood red font. I like how it twists and writhes giving off an uncomfortable distressing feel. I think its really in keeping with the tone that I am trying to create throughout the sequence.
Similarly to this the other titles, the names of the actors, director, musician and such are in a white font that flickers. The white really stands out against the black background. I chose for the font to flicker for the same reason that the title squirms as it enters the screen: it contributes to the unnerving feel.
