Tester Ident & Titles



I created this using effects on Final Cut ProX and a stop-motion animation that I created using a simple drawing, photographed and then made negative on Final Cut to give the white effect shown above.
I don't plan on using this as my actual ident because little thought went into the drawing and creation of it, but it does capture the eery/scary feel I'm going for. The idea of someone scratching out the title with a scalpel.

The ink droplets at the back are a filler, supplied by Final Cut that I feel fits well with the ident theme and adds effectiveness in the background. I plan on creating a more visual sketch but still using stop motion, having 'HH Productions' scratched over the opening of the film.

TITLES PLANNING:
  • I plan on using shot 11-13 (found on shot list) to display the title, it's whilst Name is waking up and we get a sense that today is the day things will change in her life, which is why I've chosen to put the title in at this time. 
  • The ident will come at the beginning of the film, with the balletic music required, being played over the top of the graphics.
  • The ident will then fade to black and shot 1 will fade in from the black.
  • I plan on using stop motion to draw my title and ident so that they coordinate with each other and then use stop motion to film it, creating a sketchy look. 
  • The Director's name and name of lead actor, during shot 14-21 in the same scratched style as the other title sequences and ident. 


Out of the above graphic titles available on FinalCut ProX, I prefer the first one, I may etch in some Ballet shoes in the same scratched style that the title is in.
This film also shows the layered over effect of having the title play over the film as we see the action unfold. However I have chosen points in the opening where little is happening so that the titles don't distract from the actual film.
