Research into Film Titles: Evidence of research

As a group we decided that the most effective way of adding in titles was through Final Cut, it was easier than using other software. But we had trouble finding a font that looked professional but was still minimal. We also wanted it to stand out, which is why we kept it white. We also kept it this way because we looked at other film openings like 'Arlington Road' and 'Mezrine' and they both have white fonts to contrast the background. I feel like it has worked and proved effective because it allows the audience to focus on the scenes behind the opening titles. We also followed the conventions of a typical thriller movie, this is to ensure that we can show our understanding of conventions and therefore make an effective opening.
