So, initially we were all completely in love with Stanley Kubrick's cheap however, effective title sequences, which produced a raw emotion of fear from his striking idea. Red as we thought, and many would, would be the perfect colour for the font, in the art world this powerful colour represents love, passion and death, all of which are themes of our The video of our first draft, (below)contains our initial idea, which gave the look we were looking for, however red titles against a black and white film, now we know was quite a ridiculous idea, it makes no scene what so ever, but "love is blind" and Stanley Kubrick had broken out hearts.
After realising our mistake, it was back to the drawing board to find a solution to our dilemma, which was simple giving our basic knowledge o classic horror's and black and white films, the titles are always in white, in horror they are always bold, and have a dripping effect, however the Mac we were working with gave us little to work with, so the closest font to the desired one, was a the font 'cracked'. By enlarging the fort to dominate the screen, finally gave us the feel our film craved, which is now much more suited to the genre of classic horror.
