Stop Motion typography

This is the first draft of our stop motion, we created this by writing the name of the actor then taking a picture of every step on opening the paper making sure to take a photograph of every step then we imported it onto the computer and added all the photographs onto final cut pro then changed the duration to make it faster so it flows better. This draft needs to be speed up because in the middle of the motion is drags on for some time.
The set up onto creating this was placing the paper onto a black sheet of paper and having a spot light slighting facing onto the writing. On final cut pro we darkened the shots and increased the highlight.

Journal-Production name

Our production name was created using final cut pro. This will be placed at the start of our title sequence. SSBC productions, this name is created by having the first letter of our names which creates SSBC We wanted it to be associated with the thriller genre so we choose to do it in a typewriter style, typewriters are associated with thrillers because they are mainly set in time when they are used then actual computers so everything like documents and reports in investigations are written on typewriters. We found a typewriter font from Dafonts called 'Moms Typewriter' then searched for sounds of a typewriter.

Research Typography

These fonts all have a lot in common with each other. The typography is simple but bold, it stands out from the background even if it has an image it still draws the attention of the audience.The colour schemes across the thriller genre use the colours such as red, white and black. They stand out and have connotations of danger and blood. Some thriller fonts like cape fear can be distorted this is common as it has connotations of mystery and can sometimes be a metaphor or represent a character of the narrative of the film.



As a group we decided that the typography for the title sequence would be in a handwritten like font. We choose this as it links to the narrative of the missing boy so we will have the writing in a childlike font to represent the boy or the font to be written by the protagonist so her handwriting would be joined up but also quick and scruffy.
We took influence of the typography from David Flinches film Se7en as in the sequence it looks like the font is a handwritten by the antagonist himself it also metaphors him being childlike and manic with the handwriting font being scruffy and not very neat.

Typography

As a group we decided to have our title names to be a handwritten font as it links with the sequence. We decided to have it actually written then having done on computer as it looks more authentic. We wrote on the paper of the producers and actors and scrunched the paper to make it look more rough amd effective, then we scanned it onto the computer to add into final cut pro. We initially decided to have the names just appearing on to the screen with a black background. But we then had the idea of using stop-motion. To create stop motion we took photographs of the paper opening up in stages. Once we done evryname they were imported into final cut pro and put all together , we had to change the duration to make it quicker and it makes it overall look better fast.
When it was imported to final cut pro we chnaged the highlight and brightness to make it darker as it looks more errie.
