Graphics Plan

I produced this in order to test out certain templates on Final Cut Pro X and see whether they would work as titles for my final trailer. Overall, I feel that they work well for the atmosphere of my trailer and actually look quite professional. A few points of note, however:

• As it stands, I am going to use the second film festival accolade template, with the cross dissolve between the graphic and the video footage, taken by me, that plays after it - I feel that it has an immersive quality. However, this is subject to change depending on whether the cross dissolve works with the actual camera shot which will follow on from the film festival graphic.
• I am not sure about the graphics template which announces my name as a director - the way I have laid out my name, with the 'Helvetica Nue' font and the surname in bold is very professional looking in my opinion, though the way in which it fades between 'a film by' and 'Christoph Macdowall' could be too slow paced for my trailer.
• The font I used for the final title template is called 'Hei', though it is not the same as the fonts I used for the actor and director names, as putting certain words in bold within the 'Hei' font did not seem to work. However, the two fonts do not feel mismatched so this is not a particularly pressing issue.
• My idea was to, when announcing the name of the lead actor, have the surname in bold and the first name in regular typeface - what I actually did, however, was make his first name in a particularly light typeface and I feel that this is far more professional looking.
