Intro Credits and Fonts

 Hello! Before I finish editing my project, I need to consider what fonts I am going to use for the introductory credits. Also I have to remember that these credits are at the beginning of a complete film and cannot by any means be scrolling. Furthermore, I can only use a few fonts which have to encapsulate the theme of the film. For the credits, I also want them to be interactive with what is going on in the screen. If my hands move into the credits, then they disappear, something of that sort. 

But first, the font. I am thinking of a more simple font in order to match the perceived orderliness of the dentist office. This will serve to juxtapose what happens to Logan, something vicious and cruel. Taking inspiration from what started this journey, Jaws, I am considering using the font Futura. 


Futura is a bold font which is easy to read and has straight and rigid lines. There are not any flourishes in the font such as in the most common Times New Roman, a serif font. However, what I am contemplating against is that while this juxtaposes in tone, a font that agrees with the tone would hit the nail on the coffin for the tone. This is something that I will have to consider.



For the introductory credits, I want to make use of graphics. In Premiere Pro, these can be imported or created. When the tooth falls into the bin, I want the scene to cut to black with a red trail trail following the tooth during its descent. Then the words SMILE ROOM would be spelled out onto the black screen, all the while Logan's screaming can be heard. This would be the ending of my opening and would serve to tie together this scene, showing how in the context of the dentistry, this patient is just one meaningless member. 

If the story were to be continued, it would likely follow the dentist. For the spelling of the SMILE ROOM, I will be using the logo which I created before, but adding making it more horror-esque. 


More on the topic of the introduction credits, I will be adding the following information: director, producer, writer, cinematographer (Sean), editor, major actors (Reuben), and last but definitely not least Le Orthodontists for allowing me to film at their Weston location. These credits will appear in different sectors of the screen to make it appear more dynamic.
