Practice Intertitles for our film

We created a practice inter titles short clip to see which ways would be most effective to include on our actual two minute opening of our film. We chose to use the colour themes of red and white as we believe the colour red links nicely with the thriller genre we chose for our film as the colour red has connotations of power, energy and more importantly in this case danger. The colour red in the case of the two minute opening of our film acts as a stimulant of blood for the target audience. For the mean time, we used the names of well known actors, possibly those we would like to use as a basis of the kind of characters we would like to include. However, once we know what people/actors we are going to use we will change the names of the actors included. Furthermore, we would like to use titles similar to these in our animatic storyboard, but, also in our final opening two minute piece.  The majority of the time the text is placed in the centre leaning mostly to the right as we would like the audience to focus on the action and the footage included and not get distracted by the text. However, for certain key things the text is placed in the centre of the page in the middle to direct the audiences attention towards these things. Such key facts are the production company, name of the film and the name of the distribution company.
In addition, we chose the colour white as it stands out and offers a great contrast in the colour themes. Although white connotes purity and cleanliness it also signifies safety which is why we chose to use it as it creates a straight forward view to the audience of how these both have very different meanings, not only with what they suggest but within the film as a whole.
