Text In Our Film

    Today, I focused on creating our production logo and finding possible fonts for the title of our film and the credits we will include throughout the opening. 

    For the production logo, I used Canva since I am very familiar and comfortable with how it works and I started playing around with templates and changing them to fit what I had in my head. I knew I wanted a dark background, preferably black, with white, bold and simple letters. I thought of the name D&G Productions because me and my partners initials are that but I am still not 100% convinced with it but for now it'll do until we come up with a better more creative one. I've never used Canva for the purpose of having it in a video so I started looking around and saw that I could animate the text so I grouped all the elements of the logo together and I started seeing which animation could work for the purpose of our logo. I ended up choosing a simple one because I didn't want it to be all over the place so I chose the "Baseline" animation which just brings in the logo from the bottom to the center. 

    For the fonts, I searched for ideas on Google Fonts and came across this one that I'm writing with right now. The name is Caveat and as soon as I saw it I knew this would be the one to use because I wanted a kind of handwriting looking font to make it seem like Layla's handwriting and give it some authenticity. I downloaded the font to my laptop and I opened Premiere Pro so I could see how it looked with the overall edited part that I have already and once I saw it, I knew this was going to be the one. As I'm writing this I also just realized that I never said what the name of the film was going to be here. We decided the name of our film would be Am I To Blame? because it helps capture the inner conflict that Layla would be having and grief from the lost of her little brother. Hearing her mom constantly tell her dad that it was his fault that Liam was gone eventually made Layla wonder if maybe she had also contributed to it, because what if she wasn't there for Liam enough?
