Planning Blog: Titles.

  Hello Everyone! Today we will talk about the title design for my opening sequence. The fonts in my film will be the “Bodoni 72 Oldstyle”  and “Chalkduster” font. The title of the film will be “Awaiting your red letters.” I decided that in the title the word red should be put in the color red to make it stand out from the rest of the words. Everything will be in all caps except for the word "red." For example it will look like this, “Awaiting your red letters.” However for the rest of the titles in the film they will just be in the “Bodoni 72 Oldstyle” font simply in white. In regards to animations, there will be no in animation for the film title but only a fade out animation. For the other titles like characters and directors, those will have both fade in and out animations. That is all, thank you for tuning in! Logging off!
