Opening Titles

I designed the opening titles for our groups film opening, I went about this by drawing a few ideas up in my book.

After I drew up the ideas I( showed the rest of my group so they had a say on what the titles should look like. At first I had two separate ideas:

Idea 1: Was a cutlass which connotes pirates as it is typical that pirates have cutlasses and the title would be put on to the cutlass with a suitable font.

Idea 2: This idea was to have a skull and cross bones flag and then the titles appear on the flag as the skull and crossbones disappear. The flag also links with the theme of pirates so the audience know what kind of film the film is and the film is about pirates.

I showed the group my ideas, Catiya said that we should put both the ideas together so one Idea would be for the production company and the second idea would be for the titles.

I then researched the font, this is important so the theme of pirates comes across to the audience quickly.

 

I looked at a film that has similarities to my groups film, I choose 'Pirates of the Caribbean' the titles on this film are old fashioned which is because the types of pirates being portrayed in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' were pirates from the past.
