One of the conventional methods of using film titles is placing them in the left or the right bottom corner of the screen. I have used this method and placed the titles on the opposite sides on the subject in my frames. I consciously shot the footage in a way that there were empty spaces in the frame to use titles.
The titles appear when there is more fore-ground. By using an effect to give motion to the title, it is made to appear as the character starts moving out of the frame.
A similar method is used in the opening sequence of the film ‘Social Network’. The character is running on one side while the titles appear on the opposite side of the frame. Similarly as the character in my film rides on his bicycle towards the right side of the frame, titles appear on the left side.
The typefaces that I have used are Avenir heavy and Avenir book. The main title is in typeface ‘Impact’. These are simple clean fonts and have been used in black or white colors. I wanted the titles to be easily viewable on solid the solid colour empty spaces in the frame.
Social Network: Title(left side) Protagonist (entering from the right side)
Social Network: Title(left side) Protagonist (entering from the right side)
Paper Boy: Protagonist (standing on the left side) Title (on the right corner)
Paper Boy: Protagonist (exiting on the right side) Title (on the left corner)
