Title design:
Depending on the genre there are many different title designs you could use. A red, serif font usually connotes a horror genre as the red signifies blood and the serif can signify sharp edges of a blade, amongst other things. If I were to make a drama, I would use Sans-serif, with a quite plain, white text as it is creating narrative enigma and setting a serious vibe for the audience. If I were to create a comedy or teen movie I would use colourful, bubbly font as this connotes that the movie is going to be quite childlike, happy and informal.
Good: fairly thorough + specific. However:
ReplyDelete- no illustration
- no direct linkage to your research (= APPLYING research, AO2)
- nothing on animation/movement; variable sizing; font variation for role/name etc
- post title is long + needs editing. Use SUMMARY as a starter word for all such posts (and a tag)
See my earlier comment. This is a key post; you need to very clearly evidence a link between research + your ideas, and you're ignoring elements of the media lang of titles. It might be a good idea to do an updated post, and put a LARGE text link to it (+ explanation) at the top of this post, something I often do, where you comprehensively make that research/applied link
ReplyDeleteAs you need to mostly work with video for the Eval, that would be a useful medium. Time to address fonts - and update Techs post/s when doing so (I'm assuming you'll download a font. No time to teach it now, but you can also use Motion [companion to FCPX] if you want to try some online tutorials for advanced font FX)
