Titles for our production 'Sweet Caroline'.

 Initially, we came up with a range of different titles for our production, but we thought they were all slightly cliché and we didn't want a title that appeared boring. So, we then decided to come up with something that was more ambiguous, mirroring the genre, that allowed the audience to guess what the film would be about instead of simply being told outright in the title. Consequently, we came up with the idea to call our production 'Sweet Caroline', which also helped us pick the diegetic music for one of our scenes where we used Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline as background music. 


For our production we wanted to create titles that grabbed the audience as opposed to plain, static titles.Here we discussed that we wanted to titles to be alike the ones used in the beginning of the film 'Se7en' - full of movement, out of place and eerie in order to reinforce the genre of the film.
Here is the video for the opening titles of Seven.

 In order to achieve this we firstly had to choose the font style we wanted. We did, however, change the size of each letter and also the direction because we didn't want all the letters to be aligned perfectly and instead wanted them to be distorted and edgy. The layout of the letters was quickly decided, and we originally chose to do the titles in black and white, which mirrored out style model of 'Se7en'.

 Once we put it onto our production we thought black and white came across a bit dull, so we then decided to change it more to a red colour. The reason we chose red was due to the connotations that come alongside this fiery colour of pain and freight. After testing it out, we came to the conclusion that the red looked more striking, which was our original aim.

 Above are a range of screen-shots of our titles sequence and they show that we changed to colours slightly, to more bold colours then back to white. Furthermore, we also created a 'double-effect' where the titles appeared twice one below the other. We thought we achieved what we set out to achieve and our titles were highly affective in doing so.
