Title Screens

Now that we have decided upon our final title idea, I have created the title screens that will be played at the end. For me, title screens in sci-fi/space related cinema are particularly important in upholding the visual standards. I took inspiration when creating the titles from films such as Gravity and Interstellar, where the stylistic choices often remain similar. From my research, I found that fixed width, capitalised fonts with high levels of kerning were particularly on trend at the moment in this field of cinema, so I decided to take a similar approach in Translunar.

When it come to creating our own titles, I decided to use the font 'Futurust Fixed Width', due to the similar aesthetic that it provided, which as aforementioned, I was very fond of. I decided to further our use of motion graphics here also, by adding an element of animation into our title sequence. Choosing to work outside of Cinema 4D this time, I decided to use Adobe After Effects this time for its relative simplicity and due to my familiarity with the software. Looking through the effects panel, I decided to add a glow animation, as I felt it was relevant to our theme, matching the lunar visuals that are intrinsic to our piece. I chose to keyframe this minimal glow into the main title screen as I felt that it's subtlety was effective, whilst it's visuals remained aesthetically pleasing.
