Screen credits...

Whilst everyone in our group has taken on certain roles all to contribute to our final sequence from every aspect, mine being the editing of the voiceover and sound effects, Sophie has been creating the text to overlay our title sequence.

She used photoshop to create a number of texts she thought suited the genre of our sequence. After presenting them to the rest of the group, we whittled them down to around two-three, two of them being very similar. After discussing and finalising our chosen font, Sophie began working with it on a special film and video design template. On this grid-like template, she began experimenting with the font that we found, from 'www.dafont.com'

Sophie did really well in arranging font size and colour, making sure it was the right size for the screen, and that its placement was accurate and didn't get in the way of any key features in any of f our shots. Also, due to our sequence being constantly very dark, Sophie made the font white.

After researching actors, writers, directors etc. we found a list of people that had worked on films that were similar to ours, the thriller genre, to add in our title sequence as our actors, writers and directors. For example, Leonardo Di Caprio as our mean role. We were influenced by him and his work, mainly in the film 'Shutter Island', a thriller where he plays a psychologist. Another example being John Polson as a director. Looking into films with similar story lines to ours, we found that John Polson made films that actually influenced our decision to make a thriller such as 'Hide & Seek'.
