Title Design

Image
 The location of my titles will vary in location depending on the color most prominent in the shot. However, the goal is to keep most of them in the bottom right corner of the screen like they do in movies! The working title at the moment is "The Move," but I really think I might end up changing this if I think of a stronger main title. As for the color, my goal is to keep the credits white. I think that the white on black is super sleek and simple, yet equally as effective as any other bold color. Plus, I think that by using white, it won't draw attention away from the shots (which would still be telling a story). The main title will have the biggest size in order to create that emphasis. As for the credits, they will be around 1/4 the size of the main title. As mentioned previously, I want to fit them in the bottom right corner.  As for my fonts, I'll only use two. One for the main title, and one for the credits.  The titles will fade in and fade out after about 10

Title Website Research

Hey guys! Welcome back to my blog-  I want to share with you all on my decision on which website I chose to do my title research on. Now, I'd like to announce that  Art of the Title  will be my main source to use for my research. After looking through both websites along with testing how easy it is to navigate and find information, I decided that this website was the best fit for me. One of the biggest reasons is that I could not find the stuff that was right for me and my topics of research on the other website. I tried searching a few of the movies I wanted to look into and to no avail, I could not find it. However, when I went on Art of the Title, I was able to find it almost instantly.  I was also a huge fan of how they formatted their information and how they provided detail for the movies. Not only that, but some even have transcripts in which they talk about the movie more in detail. I am almost positive that the other website has it's pros, however, it just did not fit
