Planning- Title

Titles:

     After completing our storyboards, we thought the next step of action should be planning our title fonts and colors. These titles will be shown throughout our film opening.

    We began by brainstorming the theme of our movie and the meaning behind it. This started by looking at how the court system plays a role in the killer and the main protagonists motivations. We thought that because the reasoning for the killers actions are to "serve justice" and kill murderers, we should reflect it in the title. That is how the title "A Brutal Sentencing" came about. 

    To grasp an idea of what our title would look like, Adam created a poster. We made sure the title was red to insinuate blood, because blood is a significant factor in slasher films. The font used is "DM Serif Display" which creates a sharp look, which fits the title perfectly.

    We decided the title of the film would pop up between the scene of the murder of the serial killer and the following scene of the daughter being arrested. The listing of the cast and any other titles will be at the beginning of the opening when the killer is sketching up blueprints. We may have him listening to a song in the background, which will transition him from a montage of him planning with the names of the cast popping up through the song in the background.

Next steps:

   The next part in our planning process will be writing out a full rough draft of the script for our film opening, which will be helpful in planning future ideas. Planning our title has helped because it gives us a broad idea of where we can implement the title into the film.
