Title Card

At the end of the opening once it cuts to black the title card will appear. I will test if I like a straight cut to be more jarring or a fade transition to have the camera linger on Bob's face for a couple extra seconds. This will not include the main credits with the directors and producers as those will appear in the opening credits earlier in the opening. It needs to be bold and dramatic to create the greatest effect on the audience. The most important part is the color and font of the text. For the color of the font I decided on red against black text. The red mirrors the horror that has just taken place seconds before and pop most to eyes. For the Title font I chose was Viner Hand ITC. I picked this font because it is jagged, raw, and has a mysterious feeling with all the sharp edges. I also decided to use all capital letters because it allows the letters to stand out more and create a sense of boldness and authority to the title. I tested different shades of red but the darker was better because a lighter red was too vibrant and dark red almost looks like blood and reinforcing the horror genre. I kept the design of the title card basic with just being the title because it won't take away from the shock of the mom getting axed seconds before. I tested out a rolling title but it felt too professional and didn't stick with what I wanted to be. The finalized product was using a checker wipe transition to introduce the title. This is a transition that is almost statically and reveals parts of the word first for a couple seconds before revealing the full name.
