Title Design

  - Titles will all quickly fade onto the screen and will all disappear with a fade.                                               - Titles will disappear after about 3 seconds. - The titles will be in a very light pink color- almost white. However, if they blend into the background they may be changed to a different color such as black. It should look something like this:       - As the credits continue, the font color will get darker and darker until the title appears in crimson red.      - The title of the movie will be the last thing to appear before the “directed by:”. After the final scene it will fade to black, then the title will appear (without the period). As the music gets louder, the title will be more zoomed in, specifically on the you. Then, the music will completely shut off, the period will appear, and after a second it will cut to black. Immediately after the “directed by:” will appear.      - The name of the person who had the job will be in all caps and bigger than t

    Hi guys!       Now that we are on the final task, it's time to research certain things. A huge part of films, especially opening sequences, is the film's aesthetic and the feel given as you watch it. That's why picking a title design is so important.

It was organized and included different kinds of films. Below is its setup!
