Making the Titles

Getting the right font:

The main thing we wanted to get 100% right was the font for the titles in our film. We wanted the font to represent the genre of our film but most thriller fonts were hard to read quickly so we went for more of a bold, action font which was called Nevis. (http://tenbytwenty.com/?xxxx_posts=nevis). 

Editing the font:

We wanted our titles to be unrecognisable up until the last couple of seconds. The effect that we choose to do this was called 'Algorithm loop'. This was a pre-made effect provided by Adobe After Effects CS6. This effect allowed up to have the letters in the titles to alternate randomly up until the near end of the effect were all of the letters come back together. When the titles were finally readable I then used the opacity feature to make the titles slowly disappear.

Importing font:

We then wanted to import our text from after effects to our film (which was in the development stage). The way we went about this is after we had created all of the titles we needed for the film, we then collected all of the save files into one folder and imported all of them into premier pro. When then put these files into premier pro's sequencer and finished the final edits there.
