Title Sequence - Second Draft

Research
Sherlock Holmes


Emma


Pride & Prejudice



Below I have experimented with different font types.


We finally decided on the font, 'Apple Chancery'


Why did we choose this font?

We wanted to find a font which was easy to read but also had an element of hand written style as the opening sequence depicts the main character, Billy, writing a letter and by having cursive writing for the titles it ties our opening sequence and title sequence together.

We have also made a few changes to our original title sequence.
We felt that having a continuous plain background was boring and would not engage our audience, to over-come this problem we decided to take screen shots from our film and edit them onto parchment paper to provide us with a background for out titles.
We took inspiration from Sherlock Holmes titles as demonstrated below:

As you can see we have taken still images from our film and added a parchment effect, over the top of these images will be our credits.
