The Editing Process - Titles

For both our film title and coming soon title, we developed graphics on Photoshop for the best aesthetic effect. We did this by pixelating the words and duplicating it many times in different shades of grayscale.

We are very happy with the outcomes of the graphics as we feel it effectively reflects the tone and emotion of our trailer. 

From our research, we contracted that almost every professional trailer has a whole screen full of credit tags at the end. So in the spirit of being professional we intended to do the same. We did this by selecting the 'trailer' option in the titles sections of Final Cut Pro X. 

To edit the text, we opened it in Motion. After we did this we changed the background image to just a plain black screen. 

This is the end result of our end credits.

For our actor and director titles, we just used a standard white font as we didn't want to disorientate and distract the audience from our trailer.

For text transitions we used 'wipe', 'cross dislove' and 'simple'. We felt that these transitions were appropriate for our film as they were quite subtle yet affective in keeping with the feel of our trailer.
