For our titles, we wanted to use a font that appeared to be scratched into wood, as if it were scratched into the door, as our whole film has the theme of 'knock knock' and the door. To do this, we decided on the font 'Scream again' which we downloaded from dafont.com
We had a sequence of the killer slowly turning his head to the camera, and we thought we could use this with the title, to create an eerie clear reveal of the killers mask in full.
We also decided to manipulate the font, in order to give the titles an interesting twist. We used the effect 'bad tv', and turned the 'amount' up to full, to make the words 'roll' and stutter, for only a split second. The typography interrupted the images, to distort his face.
In this image, the distortion of the text can be clearly seen, as it rolls up the screen as if there was some kind of technological glitch.
We also used this for our typography throughout our opening. The 3 purple clips seen show the different effects. The first is the plain text 'WHO'S THERE?', the second it is moved slightly with the effect 'Bad tv', and the third 'flashing' to give it a burn out kind of effect, as if an old style projector was burning out:
