Title Animation

I have chosen to research Title Animation because we can use it in our own sequence. Instead of having text, we can apply some animation to help create a more professional and sleek look. This will also help us continue to apply more genre conventions to the spy thriller genre.

There are many examples and ideas of title animation on various websites which show how creative you can be when creating the animation, however during the research some examples I found had been completed on other editing software such as After Effects. I then looked at title animation which has specifically been made in Final Cut Pro which is the software we are using for our sequence.

Below is a video which I found on YouTube, which shows all types of animation which can be completed in Final Cut Pro, however some of the animation cannot be adapted into our own sequence because they do not match genre conventions and wouldn't be associated with the spy thriller genre. Within this video, I have found a title animation which could potentially be used in our sequence, it starts at 1:07 and finishes at 1:17. I like this title animation because it gives the idea of spilled blood after being shot or attacked, which is related to a spy thriller genre. Also I like the colours used, as there is white and black used which is like good and bad and relates to characters within the genre. Also having the colour white in the background helps define any animation occurring in the foreground which helps grab the audience's attention.

I have also researched film animation which is used in more well known films. One title animation which I have focused on is Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol. I chose this particular title animation because this film has been made in the past 5 years so the technology used is recent and up to date and that the film's genre is a spy thriller which matches our sequence. I managed to find a video on YouTube showing the animation of the title. The title has a bold font which helps show the text clearly to the audience. The colour matches the light which is sparked before the title animation begins and this shows that the title animation is all relevant.
