Font
Font is one of the first features we need to choose because that's that base to our title.
The font shown above is 'Orator Std' I personally like this one because it's very minimalistic and there isn't much to it but at the same time, due to the spaced letters, it's very bold and has a very strong aspect to it.
The font shown above is 'Viner Hand ICT' and this is my least favourite of our chosen fonts as it brings too much horror character into the picture and we don't want the film to be mistaken as a horror at first glance.
The font shown above is 'Trajan Pro' and this is my favourite font that we've come across so far because, similarly to Orator Std, it's minimalistic and I think this brings a good professional atmosphere into the title as we don't want it to be too overpowering, keeping it simple but effective is the most professional approach.
The font shown above is 'Modern No.20' I do like this font a lot because it's very stylish and sleek but it doesn't properly fit the mood of our film and thriller genre, it gives off more of a film noir feel.
As a group we've decided on Trajan Pro because it has the most potential and it's one we all decided feels and looks best personally so there wasn't much debate when it came to choosing a fitting font.
Colour Scheme
We're going to stick to two standard colours which are a background colour and a font colour, we decided we just want to keep the title itself plain and separate to the moving picture. These are the colour schemes, following the font we chose, that have potential.
We have chosen to invert each of the colour schemes so that we can see which way round looks better.
Firstly is black and white, this is readily the favourite because it looks sleek and brings in a dark mood, as opposed to pastel or bright colours.
Blue and white is the next scheme we decided on, we shied away from a bright blue and chose a more dull greyed out blue so keep the 'dark mood' consistent throughout the schemes.
Thirdly we have deep red and white and one thing I particularly like about the deep red is that it's a good representation or foreshadow of blood so this could be anything from injury to murder but it's already hinted to happening within the title, and this is something we're aiming to do in order to
create a good strong title.
Another colour scheme that we chose way dark grey and grey, this allows us to stray away from including white in each of the colour schemes and still looks extremely appealing. One thing I particularly like about this colour scheme is that, luckily, it doesn't clash like using two different colours would, such as yellow and red.
Lastly we have another red and white except this is using an evidently more vibrant red. This is my least favourite because I simply think the highly saturated red is far too overpowering and doesn't fit the concept of a thriller and especially doesn't provide a dark mood.
From the colour schemes we decided on the black and white one with black and the background and white for the font colour as this one worked best for us.
Animation
working on Adobe After Effects, which was hard to begin with but I got the hang of it and this allowed me to build my skills and apply different animation effects to the title. We're using animation to give the title the most amount of character.
I came across an effect that allows the letters to disappear one by one and this links not only to the plot of the film but to the title name 'Abandoned'. I happily took charge in the animation process of the title which gave me a little independence on the project.
We also decided to credit our names as the directors underneath the title animation.
