After Effects Titles

• We used after effects in our final shot of the opening sequence of our film.
• We wanted to make the word 'Stakeout' stand out, and show that we thought about our titles during the sequence.
• We made the title interact with the death scene, so it looks more professional, and adds intensity to the film, and is a good way of closing it off, with a fade to red at the end, which connotes a blood covered screen.

• To begin we focused on the text placement, and where we wanted to position it on the screen.
• We went with the font ''LaBrit' it was a rather gothic looking font, what we were after for our title. After we added motion tracking to the the clip, to make sure the title stayed stationary with even with the shake of the camera.
• The data was then added to a 'Null' which is just a blank template, with no dimensions, just a utility for editing.
• Textures were then added to it, to give it the effect of blood being formed around it.
• The resulting composition was then taken, then had camera shakes added, to show impact as the body fell to the floor.
• Over time, colour correction was added to the clip, a shade of red over the screen, which then reveals the text to be much brighter, and makes it stand out to the audience.
• Finally it was all exported and added to our film, and with a bit of tweaking with brightness, and a few effects fits in well with our film.
