Evaluation
How easy or difficult was it to create a the title credits?
Creating the title credits was relatively easy. When editing our footage on Final Cut Pro, we added already existing original credits from the Breakfast Club, chose a similar font and colour and placed it over the moving image.
What decisions did you make when deciding on the font, typeface and size of titles?
We wanted our credits to be similar to the original ones. Therefore, we aimed to find a similar font yet keep the colour quite bold to enable it to be easily seen over the moving image. We also wanted the size to be large so that the focus remains on the credits as well as the moving image.
How successful is your choice of font? Does it suit the tone of the film?
We think we had a good choice of font because it was bold and easy to understand. However, we used red for the text colour which was a little out of place despite it being easy to see.
How successful were you in the placement of title credits so they fit the action that we see? Are the titles 'integrated' or contrasting?
We decided to change the placement of the title credits to suit the moving image behind it. For example, we had a scene with a clock on the wall, we didn't want the credits to cover the clock completely as the scene would be unclear so we placed it more to the side. We took placement into consideration for every different scene, therefore our credits do not remain in one place on the screen. Also the original movie's credits were also in many different placements so we decided to follow up on that idea.
If you were to complete this tasks again, what would you do differently?
We would probably spend more time experimenting with different fonts and colours and decide on which one is most appropriate. We would also try and understand Final Cut Pro more and experiment with the different tools that are available to us.
