Choosing the titles and developing our soundtrack

After finishing the editing for our film, we had to make sure that we included titles.

To help us select the right fonts which had to be appropriate, eye catching, appealing and interesting, we watched a video to help us.

The video shown on You Tube called Helvetica Everyday Font gave us information about the font Helvetica. We decided to use this font after watching the video as we found out many facts about it such as;
* Its a popular font used within the media
* Major firms use it to advertise their products and company name such as Kodak, Jeep, BMW, Toyota, Tupperware, Nestle, SAAB, Oral-b, The North Face and Panasonic.

To create the titles for our actors names, we used a font we found on Live type known as Pigi. We chose to use this font because it is a nice flowing italic which makes it a bit different from other fonts, such as Arial or Times New Roman.

Soundtrack

As well as doing research into our titles, we also have developed and completed our soundtrack, which accompanies our film, today. We have made the soundtrack today using the software 'Soundtrack'. 
Our film starts off eerie and then the pace picks up for a chase scene. We decided to make our soundtrack accompany the visual footage and story line. The beginning of our soundtrack is eerie and slow which matches the on screen footage. The footage then turns into a chase and the soundtrack quickens to match this. Our quick soundtrack is a recurring riff which has a fast tempo and is also catchy. We did research into chase scenes and in all of them, the soundtrack which accompanied it had a fast tempo which, in turn, made the chase seem faster and more interesting. We believe that our soundtrack goes very well with our footage and we are all very happy with it.
