Planning Blog: Title Design

     I used a process of elimination to decide which font I wanted to use. After weighing out the pros and cons, EB Garamond will be the font I use for my film. It doesn’t require any special text effects to be legible. I also had to consider the timing of my titles.Each title will appear on screen for 2 seconds. The exception to this is the main title credit, which will appear for 4 seconds. Readability is also important. Because I will be filming at night, the text will be light colors so they contrast with the background. The exact color will depend on how the shots look once they are recorded, but for now, the text will be white. I have included an example of the transitions and appearance of the title in the last slide. The transitions are timed so that "Place of Honor" fades in for 3.3 seconds and fades out for 1.7 seconds. This may be changed in the final product.
