The Dreaded creation of Titles

In today's lesson, we went on live type and started experimenting. As previously stated by Daisy's post we as group like the idea of having flicker as an effect. We looked at the titles and the ones that we felt most resembled our film and its genre were, 28 Days Later, Downcome, Misproject and also String. These all hand the appearance of being jagged and rough, much like the mental state of Verity.
We have 6 titles that need to be completed:

Do You Ever Question Reality?
From The Prestigious Makers Of Against The Tide
Starring Bafta Nominated Emily Porritt
Verity
Lies
Verity Lies

We would like all titles to be completed in the same style, which is white and soft. The experimentation is difficult as we have a preemptive image of how we would like the titles to look and the actual ability to create this is proving very difficult. We want subtle soft movement but accomplishing this is easier said then done. We like the effect of zooming into a glow and zooming back out into focus, but there are many restrictions when using Live Type as the creative freedom is limited to what is already on the system.


This is our least favourite as it has the appearance of belonging to an action film, and the font style seems slightly comical and fun, which does not resemble our film.

This is the title we most like, the small faint font conforms to the belief that it suits the genre of a psychological thriller. We are going to expand on this font further.

We do not mind this font however like the first title, the actual font style is quite fun and bubble like, however the use of glow is appealing and may be used in the final title, but not to such an extreme length.
This is the same response to the one below as they are very similar in style and design.





However, we will not let this deter us from creating titles that we are both happy and proud of.
We will continue to experiment until we finally get it right !
