In continuation from my Prezi on titles and graphics, I have chosen to use Enter The Void as my influence to how my inter-titles will actually be presented on screen.
I loved the use of vibrant, bold colouring and wanted to use the same neon tones rather than settling for black/white.
For inter-titles to work, they must move in some way on the screen in order for the 'action' and movement in the trailer to continue to flow.
Therefore, as well as having the colour flash and change, I also added another layer of writing to give a '3D' / interference effect. This gives the notion of double vision which reflects the theme of my film.
In FinalCut, I have written my inter-titles on a 'basic title' text box. To create the strobe effect, I have repeated this text over and over (in four different colours), each one lasting 0.2 seconds. On every third text box, I have added the second piece of text in order to create the interference.
You cannot see here, as these images are stills, but the colours flash as if they are a strobe.
(Please see my research and planning post on Enter The Void for detailed analysis).
This GIF gives a better idea of what the titles look like in the trailer.
I wanted to give the same strobe effect for my end title - this would give an intense, dramatic, punchy ending.
