Making of the Title Sequence

My group's title sequence should remind viewers of any typical title sequence they've seen in other films. In order to keep the genre and overall aesthetic of the film consistent, our title sequence will have a mellow mood as shown by delicate fonts and styles.

The title sequence will go as follows: 

Production Company Name (Swift Pictures) 

We came up with this name for a company and just stuck with it

Actors (Tori Ragin as Betty, Daniel Morales as James, Ashley Polo as August) 

This is because they were the ones that acted.

Producers (Tori Ragin, Melanie Reynoso)

This is partially because we needed names for producers, so Tori and volunteered our names.

Edited by (Melanie Reynoso) 

 This is, of course, because I am editing the film opening.

Screenplay by (Daniel Morales)

 This is because Daniel came up with the screenplay.

Directed by (Hannah Barnes).

This is because Hannah decided upon the camera shots and angles. She even recorded most shots herself, and she generally did most of the behind-the-scenes camerawork.

Regarding fonts, my group and I were pretty undecided for a while. I eventually narrowed down our options to four fonts, and I let the group decide which ones they liked best. Here are the four fonts:


From top to bottom, these four fonts are called Quita, Kinuta Shin StdN, Bickham Script, and Adorn.

My group chose Kinuta Shin StdN for the credits, and they chose Quita for the title. They chose Kinuta Shin StdN because they wanted a gentle delicate font for the credits, but they didn't want it to be cursive and risk it being too difficult to read. The more extravagant and cursive font, Quita, is therefore used for the title since it keeps the moody delicate feelings consistent while still being readable since the audience's attention will be drawn to it. I am happy with this decision since I was leaning towards these fonts anyway.

The credits will be shown in a somewhat small size on the bottom left corner in order to keep the audience's focus on Betty and the ripped props.The actual title, though, will be large and centered once the camera pans to the sky since we want everyone to pay attention to the title of the film. Titles are pretty important!

Regarding colors, we're pretty sure the fonts will be white. This color is simple, typical, and it prevents anything from getting too messy. Most of our shots have dark enough lighting so that white will still be easily visible. However, when the pan to the sky happens, we might have some trouble with the white font blending in with the white clouds. I may have to use another color, like black, if this becomes an issue. I am also considering designing a title of my own if I think black looks too unnatural.
