Let's Talk About Title Design!

The opening credits of my film will ap pear in a spooky/ crooked font that appear s to be  swiped onto the screen quickly in the center or right corner of its shot.   Most credits will be embedded in the setting.   For example, credits wi ll be shown on bedroom doors an d on pieces of paper.   - Working Title: The title of this film is likely to be “Charlie”   - It will be bold-faced text and all in Caps: S OMETHING LIKE THIS   - Titles will all appear to be “wiped” onto the screen. Because of this design, they will all fade in and out, as if being wiped onto and off the screen.   - Titles will stay on the screen for 2-3 seconds   - Depending on the color scheme of the s cene, the color of the font will be either red or black:     LIKE THIS or LIKE T H IS   The first name of the person who holds the job will be bolder than the rest of the words: DIRECTED BY NOURA ATTAH  

Our Script

  Scene 1:   Film opens to shot of a window on a house. It is nighttime and a group of girls are having a pillow fight in the room seen through the window.     Scene 2:   Camera moves through the window and takes the audience into the bedroom with the girls. They stop fighting and decide they need water and snacks, so they call to the girl in the kitchen and tell her to hurry up.     Scene 3:    Cuts to the girl in the kitchen getting glasses of water when the microwave beeps. Shot of her opening the microwave door and grabbing the popcorn. Then we follow her as she balances everything and yells back saying “Coming!” to her friends.     Scene 4:   The girls all sit in a circle on the bed with the popcorn bowl in the middle. They start to talk about what to do, and one comes up with the idea of playing Charlie Charlie . Someone grabs a piece of paper and two pencils, and they set up the game. We see them start to ask questions and the pencils move showing the “presence of ghos

  Our production process will start March 15th. We will be filming at Macys house, since she has a nice space to work efficiently, and she holds most of the important equipment. If any group member is sick on the planned filming days we will either find an alternative date where we can all meet together once everyone is healthy, or the group members who aren’t sick will get together and complete what they can without the sick group member. If it so happens that weather is bad, and it interferes with our production process, we can alter scenes to make them work with a created setting inside. We will problem solve by making a fake layout of the outside if needed. Alternatively, we can wait out the weather or pick another day where the weather is nice. In order to avoid this issue as much as possible, we will be checking the weather predictions before picking a date to film and plan accordingly.

Also, by editing the images and clips so that each
