PRODUCTION DIARY 18Naomi Pierce

WEEK 21

Titles

After our 2nd draft we decided that we needed to add titles to our opening. To start I created a titles timeline showing all of the titles we could include in our opening, I used my analysis of the Napoleon Dynamite titles to decide upon the order to put them in.

Fonts

I decided that to ensure that our titles were fitting to the genre and themes in our opening and film. This made it easier when trying to design out titles and adding them to the opening. I looked at the importance of fonts in films and the different types of fonts used in horror films to decide what would be the most appropriate for our opening.

Institution LogoAfter completing our 2nd draft we also decided that we needed a new institution logo that is more specific to the genre. In the half term I had taken a trip to London Zoo and I had videoed the bats there, we decided that using this video would be appropriate as bats are a common convention of a horror film. We created 2 different logo’s one using the bats and another with Jellyfish however we decided that the bats were much more effective.

Main TitleUsing After Effects I created a variety of different ways we could present our main title. We decided upon a white title in a cursive writing which shatters

because we decided that this was representative of our genre and themes.
