Evaluation on Titling (Include for Question 6)

Instead of looking back on the final picture picture edit for Abandoned Camp, i decided to look back on the process of our titling because it wasn't the simple text used within IMovie. During our production of Abandoned Camp, we had already discussed where we would want our titling to go. After watching some examples of opening sequences for films, we had come up with the idea of having titling appearing on trees as the opening progressed.
However, as we began our editing process, we realised that the titles were supposed to be on the screen for a certain period of time, in order to show recognition for not only our cast members, but the production team behind Abandoned Camp therefore only a certain amount of titles appear on trees, the others are placed within bushes.
We decided to use Keynote in order to get different types of titles; but because of our earlier decision of wanting the titles to be placed on top of the footage, we had a problem, because this seemed impossible  After some thought, we figured on using the green screen for the titles to easily show on top of our chosen footage.


 We had to specifically choose certain places on keynote where we wanted it to be during the opening. We uploaded over 50 different titles, because most of the times, the titling would clash ad wouldn't show up. The colours we chose were red and black. Red is to connote blood, a main convention of a horror/vampire genre film. Black because it is very prominent and easy to read.
