Planning: Titles

    With the storyboard done, I felt that the best course of action next was to plan out our titles with the fonts and colors being included in this planning. My group and I will also be planning out when these titles will be implemented inside the movie's opening.

My group began by brainstorming the themes and the meaning behind our movie so that we could tie the title back to this central theme or main Idea. This began by looking at the court system and how that plays a role in the killer and the main protagonist's motivations. We thought since this was a movie about a killer who kills people who are convicted of murder, that we should reflect that in the title. This is how we came up with the title, a brutal sentencing. Since the killer ascribes the guilty label to his victims, he kills sort of like a sentence to a convict, we thought the title well reflects the movie's opening.

Mock Movie Poster with title and title colors:


In order to show this title in action, I decided to create a mock movie poster that will implement all the fonts that we will use. We decided that the title of the movie will be shown in red with obvious comparisons to blood, which is a big thing associated with the slasher genre. The font used is called "DM Serif Display" which has a sharp look to it, and overall, I believe that it fits the title well.

For the implementation of said titles, my group decided that the full title of the movie would pop up in the scene between the killing of the serial killer character and the next scene with his daughter getting arrested. The cast listing and all other titles will be right at the start of the movie when the Killer is drawing up the blueprints. Potentially, he is listening to a song, and we can transition from a montage of him planning with the cast names popping up into the song in the background, and the rest of the scene

The next step in my planning process should be to write out the full rough draft of a script for our movie opening, which will also be helpful in guiding all future ideas. The title planning has aided in this because it gives me a rough outline of where I may implement this in the scene.
