Movie Titling

We've been having training from an After Effects specialist for a few lessons now, and we're gradually getting towards a final movie ident that we're going to use in our final coursework. I've gone through a few different ideas and I've come up with a look of the font;

I think that the title is pretty cool, that's the only thing I can really say about it, as most indy film company names don't really have any kind of joke or relation to anything, they're just there. The only thing that I can say about how [Curiousity] relates to the style that it's in is that there is no reason why it is a bit distorted by the fibre filter and why the square brackets are around, which to be honest I don't know why they are there.


This was one of my first ideas that I had, but it seemed a bit weird and too childish, so I came up with another idea and let it blend into something that I thought would be a good name;

Timing Title Sequences

Title sequences can be used in different ways, some films use them to create an emotion towards a character or what the film will be, others to introduce the characters and other films just to tell the audience who has made this film.

I've chosen two title sequences and have time lined them.
