Welcome back guys, I'll be putting my title design in real life today. I'm thrilled because ever since the project started, I've been considering possible titles for my pieces. Though I had a lot of ideas, this was the final and best one. In order to make the title fit with the video and the murder mystery's overarching concept, I decided to go with a vintage, rustic feel. Essentially, I still want my titles to look like the one that is displayed in the photo below. The majority of the titles will be included into the background image. Also, the background image will zoom to a certain spot before displaying the title. For example, a title will appear in one of the scenes with the investigation boards.  My project's working title right now is "Chasing Shadows," and I think it relates to the video.  Depending on the background, the titles' font will be medium-large black, beige, or white, and they will adhere to standard sentence form, but the 1st letter...

Welcome back guys, today I’d thought that I should start to research possible titles and ideas for my project. I was able to find two websites called Art of the Title, and Watch the Titles. These sites have a bunch of opening sequences from movies, related to certain genres and filmmakers, which will make it easier to find the opening titles of mystery films. I was able to find them really quickly. All I had to do was search. These options are very convenient because I don’t have the time to look up certain mystery films on streaming services that I have, and have to skip to the opening scene part. This makes it more easier and time efficient. It’s also free so I don’t have to go out and buy anything which will save me money. I can’t wait to use these websites to help me do my project. Stay tuned for my next blog where I’ll unravel even more mysteries about making an opening scenes video. Trust me; you won't want to miss it.
