Credits/Title

For our credits we wanted the words to look scary or horror looking, that the usually have in horror / thriller movies.We created our credits in Adobe After Effects CS5 because it is high quality and has a wide range of fonts and effects embedded into the programme. However we looked through the fonts on Adobe After Effect CS5 and we didn't like the ones they had. Also the ones they had didn't suit the genre of our film.

Initially this was the font we wanted to use for our credits. We got this font from 10001fonts.com

Exporting the font to Adobe After Effect CS5 was one of the problems we encountered. So we decided to use a font which was already installed on Adobe After Effect CS5.

My group and I decided to use the font 'Onyx'. We thought this was a good font to use because it is old fashioned looking and structured. However it did not illustrate the distorted and disturbed mind of the character in our production, So we edited it to fit the eerie imagery intended. We also rendered the title a different, and more compelling colour.

We also did this for the credits, Here is the process:


We were also very fond of this example, However it seemed too complex and far fetched to recreate
and we wanted to be original with our production.
This being said, we didn't want our credits to overlap the actual film as it does in the clip above, we wanted the opening credits to alternate so that we could extend our production and so that the audience would focus on both the credits and the filming separatley.
