Creating the Title

We decided to call our film The Night of the Unknown. As I had experience using Photoshop, I created the title of the film to put at the end of our opening titles which will transition the montage editing in the opening into to main part of the film which would follow the part we created.

• I started by typing 'THE NIGHT OF THE UNKNOWN' in a serif font on a black background. I made the font red as it fit well with the dark background and symbolised blood and these two colours are common in horror.

• I then found an image of dripping blood on Google and made the background transparent. I then added this as a new layer on the title and resized the blood to make it look like it was dripping from the serifs on the letters

• I then used the smudge tool on size 5pt and 85% strength to give the text a scratched out/ rugged look
