Today I have been making our titling for our film using Photoshop.
Beth and I decided that we wanted to use the font Courier to make the text look like a typewriter. We liked this as it gave the trailer a more "rustic/hand held" feeling.
I started off by looking at a range of different horror film trailers and seeing when and what type of titling screens are used. I found that the newer the film the more screen titles are used as well as the trailer being longer. Jessabelle and The Possession which were made in the last 2 years both have 9 titles in their 2.30 mins trailers. While Dog Soldiers made in 2002 has 7 titles but has a shorter trailer of 1.52 mins. In our trailer we are going to use 8/9 tiles. This is to keep with the codes and conventions of film production companies.
To make my titles I used the programme Photoshop. I started off by creating a new project and putting it into Film & Video preset. I changed the Width to 1280, the height to 720 and the resolution to 72. The background was changed to transparent so that when I put it into the film I will be able to layer the screen over the footage easily.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
