These titles need to be made into gif's so they are able to move on and off the screen and also stay on the screen for the same amount of time for all of the titles. Rather than putting all of the titles at the end, we are going to cut them into the clip. This is because we do not want the audience to get drawn into the opening and be excited to watch the rest of the 'film' but they then become bored after staring at titles for around 20/30 seconds - the last thing we want to do as a group is to lose the audience.
The titles appearing in white writing on a black background is quite common in thrillers - at the same time we do not want to be boring and do the same as everyone else but we also want to make it clear that it is a thriller and we want to follow along with the codes and conventions of a thrillers's title sequence.
Our planning has been influenced this way and our decisions have been made based on the research of thrillers we had already completed, we had looked at many different thriller openings and saw what techniques they used when making title sequences and what colour schemes they used. We also researched how long each title was held on the screen for and what editing techniques they used to move the titles on and off with. A lot of thrillers have put their titles on top of the action but mainly focusing on our genre, the psychological thriller genre, we have decided to put them on a black background, through research and typography testing, we have learnt that for us we feel it builds more tension and sets more of an eery mood for the audience, by doing this I feel that we will keep the audience engaged in what they are watching. By doing this we are also following the codes and conventions of our genre
