We looked at Artofthetitle.com and examples of professional titles from oscar winning title designers such as Saul Bass (I didn't even realise there were oscars for title designers)
But it showed how important titles were to a film, they are the gateway to the film, the very first thing that the audience see so its incredibly important to get titles down to perfection.
Crap titles tell the audience its going to be a crap film.
We worked on two different types of software, Final cut pro and Adobe premier pro.
Things I need to remember for Final Cut;
- Effects button (top next to file etc)
- Titles button (right hand screen under viewer)
- Filters such as Bloom, Alpha and invert, Invert gave a really cool effect, like the titles for skins or E4 channel programs.
- Needing to render film after putting titles on
- Stop Motion Buttons
From the things John showed us in the lesson its going to be easy to experiment with, we can make our own titles from the little things he showed us, the Motion buttons for instance make it very easy for us to make all kinds of titles and move them around the screen easily, whether we want them coming in from the left, the right, or whatever we want them to do.
Its far simpler than when Bass had to create his titles. His were hand crafted, so really we have no excuse for rubbish titles anymore.
In future projects I hope to make titles such as this;
These titles have been very inspirational to me, in Juno they have been hand crafted, each frame drawn, but the same effect can be achieved on adobe premier pro.
Hopefully we will see much better titles after this week!
