Summarise the conventions of title sequences that were most important to this task
- Maintaining consistancy in font and generally in transistions
- Linking the titles to the imagery
- Including all the legal requirements
- Leaving enough time for each title to be read
- If possible time titles to the soundtrack/sound fx
- Watched the clip through a couple of times and talked through how we were going to go about adding our titles
- The sound was removed to prevent confusion, however this didnt allow is to sync our title appearance timing with the soundtrack
- We looked for places where a particular transition may be relivant
- Looked for space where the titles would be visable (i.e. blank surfaces like the sink) and at the same time discussed where titles wouldn't be appropriate
- Found a suitable font, which could be taken quite seriously, and coloured it in a dark red to match the font they've used at the beggining and also because it matches the colour or the blood shown throughout the sequence which comes with conotations suitable for the genre
- Matched a blur tansition with a change in focus in the clip
- When Dexter is shaving it fades out of focous, so we attempted to use a blur tansition to match this
- Tried to place titles where they would be most visable - so against the most blank backgrounds or in places where the colour would stand out when it contrasts with other colours
- Maintained a constant font syle and size
- Gave the sequence quite an imposing feel by bringing the text toward you as it fades out
- The origional contained a lot more titles than ours
- We both used similar fonts and font colours
- Ours had alot of time without titles, whereas thiers rarely had a scene which lacked titles
- Our transitions didn't suit the music, but theirs did
- We both went for some of the same times to place titles
