Titles....

The titles for my trailer will include the actors names, the title, release date, the slogan, a descriptive sentence summarising the trailer, the production company and the director. I went for these generic titles as I thought they worked well with the shots chosen, and I didn't want to have it all shot based, I wanted some text to balance it out. I shall also have a billing block type title at the end, I chosen to add this as after seeing multiple trailers, most if not all of them include this, as it's crediting the actors and producers. 

For the animations, I have decided to use a lens flare type animation for the introduction of the production company. It will read; 'Three Lions Productions', and will look like this:

I really like this animation as it looks really effective and professional. I shall add an ambient sound in sync with the animation to add to the animation, and to make it seem more professional. Most trailer tend to have their logo at the beginning of their trailer but I have decided to go against this and have my logo at the end of the trailer along with the billing block of information. I think this will look really effective, and the text will be white on black to link in with my poster. Not many trailers do have similarities with the poster, they tend to be more clip based rather than title based. I may change the font however, depending on what I find as I want to keep this style font as the font used for my main titles.

My main titles will have a generic title animation which involves it moving along the bottom of the trailer. It will look like this:

I like this generic animation as most trailers within my chosen genre use this animation and it fits in with the text I'm going to use. Again, the text shall be white on a black background and I shall use this font as it looks similar to the font that I used on my poster for the title. I might try and add a gradient to the text as used in the trailer for The Host, but I might just leave it white. I shall have to test it out.

My main titles are as follows:
