Title Sequence - Font for title

Together, we wanted to generate a font for the title of our film, "Rewind". We came up with the idea of some of the letters being displayed backward, as when our character Jack rewind's time, we see actions play backwards. The font would match with our production logo and have a handwriten feel. We also wanted to incorperate the logo's associated with rewinding and play/pausing as these are the features of the remote Jack uses. So we each focused on a task each.

Amy's Task - Generate a title digitally
I concentrated on creating the graffics on the computer. First I made some quick sketches of our ideas with idea fonts. Here are my notes:

Then I found an appropriate font from the list I found for the Production Logo. I choose to use "appleberry" which had a fun, quirky and handwritten quality. It matches well to the font of our Production lgo although it is slightly different. I then used software called 'ArtFontsLite', to flip the 'R' and 'E', and complied the image together using 'Paint'. I used a lower case 'i' so we could replace the dot with a symbol.

Then I found two symbols online, one for 'rewind' and another for 'play'. I replaced the hole in the 'R' with rewind, to be in sync with the backwards lettering, then the 'play' symbol as the dot for the 'i'. The logo could be easily altered or changed in the future, but it gives us something to work from. Here is the draft. We could use either, depending on what colour we use as a background.

Jade's Task - Stop Motion title
I thought that for our title, we could expand the sequence from our logo, into the actual sequence. For the actual title of our film itself I thought that we should have the first two letters, 'Re', backwards to symbolise Jack rewinding his mistakes and then have the last four letters, forwards to reflect the scene being played after the rewind. My idea was to create the entire sequence on paper and write each section of the sequence, (such as the actors names, distributor name and so on) on flat pieces of paper and then crumple them up to split the sequence into sections. I also thought that it would be a good idea to have a drawing of the remote on the piece of paper that states the title of our film as it would look as if the writer was creating a blueprint of some kind.

This is a rough sketch of my title idea, I wanted it to look quite rough and just as if it was a basic sketch because it needs to seem like the beginnings of an idea in order for it to get crumpled up. The drawing features the buttons on the remote we will use and has arrows that indicate what these buttons are, this allows it to look more like a blueprint.
