In our film we will be using a minimum amount titles, as not to detract from the film. I think the more amount of titles, the more it pushes in the face of the audience that this is a constructed reality. A crafted piece of imagery made to present a story. If we have only 7 titles, compared 20, then that will minismise what I will call - from this day on, and so should you! - the "reality tearing" that titles can do to your film. Panic Room, by David Fincher, has over 20 titles and that to me was horribly teared.
Font for titles: Letter Gothic Std
I like this because it's very basic and workmanlike. It has typed, bookish quality to it that gives the film a feel of a case study, or this film is a presentation of a file on a rape case. No frills. No spills. No tearing.
Title 1: a Wonky Donkey production
Title 2: an Aran Knowles, Gokulan Loganathan and Kirtan Kaur Bhakar film
Title 3: (Actor 1)
Title 4: (Actor 2)
Title 5: Edited by Gokulan Loganathan, Aran Knowles and Kirtan Kaur Bhakar
Title 6: Casting by Gokulan Loganathan
Title 7: her Inside Sores
Title 1 will be displayed on a black background and will be faded onto the screen and then faded out. The logo will be in a central position.
Titles 2-6 will be flashed on screen in a non-distracting position, e.g bottom corner, and then flashed off. This is on order to keep it as minimalist as possible. We will most likely avoid animations or fades on these titles, but then again our stance may change once we see the final cut and how the titles fit best.
Title 7 is the title card of the film and it may come in by us fading to black the film at the end of the opening and then flashing the title in a central position. Again, we may change our minds once we see it togther.
