This is our orginial titles (highlighted in red) that we had which we liked at first because we thought that it would be worth the effort in making all of the titles be motion tracked onto various lines in the frames. However there were sevel problems with this version of our titles.
1. There was a lot of shaking of the actual words of the titles which had to be centered because they were in moving clips and it looked really unproffessional. No matter how much we tried we could not get it to move along with the clip perfectly.
2. There would be continuity errors because some of the titling clips were created using different methods which was apparent.
3. The titles were right at the begining of the film which I think now in hindsight is a bit predictable. Also them being at the begining ment that they were on the opening shots which distracted from the jobs of the establishing shots - setting the scene.
4. We felt this style did not fit our genre of film because its a bit serious and futuristic perhaps.
This is our final titling that we decided to stick with which we thought worked a lot better than the orginal one for a variety of reasons:
1. We thought it would look more professional to have the titles displayed in a more simple way - like we have here, neatly in the middle of the screen.
2. The shot that the titles are overlayed on now is one long continuous shot which was quite long and boring before but now has an added dimention of interest. It is perfect because it really frames the titles in that one long shot.
3. This method of displaying our titles meant that it was easy for us to add the role of the name mentioned which again looked more profession and ment that the titling had an obvious meaning for being there.
4. We could also now keep all the text the same white colour to further inhance the brand we are trying to build.
This is our main title. We called our film 'crossing paths' because the word 'crossing' has connotations of railways and the facts that the two characters are constantly crossing paths and they don't know it.
1. The title gives an insight into what the film is about so people can understand it better from the beginning.
2. It is big and bold because it suits our genre.
3. The size works well because as the title crawls in from the right it follows the foot of the male character.

Good - I think you are right about this.
