Title sequnce

I needed my title to be appropriate to my target audience of a teen age and both female and male. I need it to fit the genre of teen horror and still create narrative enigma and also have a sense of verismilitude so it didn't seem to cheesy or cliche.
I wanted my Title sequence to have a school feel to it . Therefore i went out and took clips of a few places around school i thought would work well. I changed the lighting levels on final cut so that it had a more early and dark feel to it. i think my title sequence works well with the style of my opening.I wanted the photography in the background to be a representative of the setting. This would help by acting as a signifier it also leads the reader to have multiple perceptions of the text and therefore would act as a polysemy and a anchor.
My first attempt at my title sequence was what is shown bellow. Although i like this sequence as i feel the photography is strong and it helps create an initial school feel to the opening , i didn't feel like the font worked as well as i wanted it to.



Therefore i went on to different websites that showed fonts used in the film industry for example http://fontsinuse.com/in/2/formats/15/film-video.  I looked at fonts used in horror films , this included American Horror story  , Don't be affairs of the dark and Halloween.

After looking at the fonts used in these titles i tried a number of diffrent fonts in my title sequence. 

After trying a few fonts some that i got off the internet and some that final cut provided , i came to the conclusion that instead of using a "horror" type font i went for a school american type font. This font was called " be true to your school ". i think it works well because it adds to the school theme at the beginning and through out throughout the opening. 

This is another development trying out some new titles with a different font. I tried this out to incorporate american connotations within my opening.

Final titles;

I changed my titles for a final time as i wanted to follow common conventions of other films that i have looked in to. My titles were inspired my the font used in heathers. The handwritten style text i feel works really well.
