Titling Ideas and Experiments

For our titles we are planning on having an animation of the word 'Drop'. 

The letter 'o' would be presented by a round tablet dropping into water, alongside the rest of the letters - this will give an insight as to what is to come up in the film i.e the pill being dropped into the glass and hence the man collapsing.
An experiment in a large container.

We would use a large, clear container to record the footage of the tablet dropping as opposed to an ordinary glass, as it will be easier to record and allow more space and time for the tablet to dissolve without bumping into any edges. 

The way the other letters appear on the screen will be similar but with a plain font. As the title word is supposed to look as though it is being suspended in water, it would look good if the letter dropped quickly from the top of the frame, to then slow down slightly nearer the bottom and finally bounce/float around toward the middle of the composition. 

The letters of D R O P won't form a dead straight line, as the nature of water means they will move. So we will therefore experiment with the formal elements of spacing and line.
