We designed our titles with the purpose of being easy to read, but fitting in with our hacking theme at the same time. To make these titles synergetic, we made them a similar green to the text on the hacking screens shown. This colour stands out well on the black background that we chose at the beginning of our sequence for our main title. The green and black colour scheme is widely recognisable as the colours seen in hacking, especially in other movies. I was careful when placing the titles to choose a spot that would not distract from the action, but at the same time would be clear and easy to read. The separate words each line up to emulate the structure of the lines of code we see in the sequence. Here are a couple of examples of the titles we used:
We made these titles using a program on the Mac called 'Livetype'. On this program we added a scrolling letter and number effect with a motion track downwards. We also added an overlay to create a sunburtst-like effect. We made the effect reasonably fast as we did not want it to distract from the footage. Also we had to make everyword as a seperate title so that we could try out different placements.
Our main 'GLITCH' title uses a vertical binary texture with a flickering letter effect in order to create a feel of a 'Glitchy' computer. To exit we used a 'TV off' effect. All of our titles are green to simulate the hacking boxes in the sequence.
