Title Sequencing

As of yet, we have placed all of the actors names within the beginning of the film, rather than the end - from looking at existing films, there is a mix of both these ways round.

In terms of composition, we put the text in the corners where there was blank space behind, so that the text was readable.We've also made the text have a slight fade transition, as we've seen in existing films. Having it just flash on, and flash off, is too blunt and doesnt fit well with the current equilibrium of the film.







White was the colour chosen as it is the most appropriate to lay ontop of our footage.

Looking at other films such as 'Se7en' and 'Batman' the size of type used for the actors names appears to be smaller than the title of the film itself. The names also have the same amount of screen time, and are the same size; as to pressumably not cause any complaints from the actors.
'Casino Royale' illustrates the point that the title of the film is shown by a larger text, and often a different font.
The whole title opening sequence is also presented through animation, like we are trying to do with our title 'Drop'.

The imagery in this film focuses around the symbols seen on playing cards i.e. the different suits, and the people seen, like the king. 
This allows the titles to connote what the film is all about and what is to come. 


With our film 'Drop', we want the title to suggest what the films focus is and what it's about.
'Drop' could either forshadow the motion of the the character James dying, or the cause -  the pill being dropped into the drink. Therefore it is open to more interpretation and creates a slight bit of enigma.
