Special effects and titles
Credits and tittles
These are the typefaces that I was inspired by because I found them to be quite suitable for my film style. I don’t like overly styled typefaces but I also don’t like overly simple typefaces that need to have some texture to give them a bit of a vintage feel. The two fonts you provided are both classic in style and would work well for a period film setting. The first font, from the One Life to Live image, is a bold, angular sans-serif, with a striking yellow against an overhead cityscape. It’s reminiscent of the 70s and 80s, simple yet powerful, giving it a nostalgic and formal feel. Meanwhile, the second font from the Kiss Kiss Kill Kill image, is a stylized script-serif, with dramatic curves and slant. It creates a sense of mystery and suspense that would work well for a detective or thriller, and is reminiscent of 60s and 70s movie posters. If used in a film I could combine the first typeface for the main title, creating a formal and nostalgic feel, and the second typeface for the credits or scenes that need emphasis. This combination would create an interesting visual effect, while also highlighting the classic style of the film.
This is the credit timeline that I wrote and then included in my film. Each credit appears for a maximum of 3 seconds, except for my role as producer, writer and director which appear about 10 seconds apart from the actors. The character names will appear at the top and then the actors' real names will appear below to introduce the audience to the actors and the characters they play.
The front of the text that I chose to introduce the name of my film was inspired by this photo, inspired by the retro visual style with unique fonts and VHS tape effects. In addition, it gives the feeling that the text is not complete, like there are broken pieces that also express the idea in the film about friendship that has gradually become worse. In addition, it will also have a horror nature compared to the usual word nets. This is a psychological horror work, revolving around the main character created by fragmented memories and strange dreams, gradually unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. The story unfolds in a dark process, where every small detail, from the whispering sound in the night to the fleeting image through the glasses, contains a deep look. The film uses low light, green and purple tones, combined with visual effects of noise and grinding, creating an atmosphere around the image and a hint of insecurity. It is not only a horror story but also a deep psychological exploration, the audience must face the fear hidden deep in their own minds.
Colourising
This is one of my ideas in the process of creating the color for my film, the vibe I like is nostalgic and it also has a strong Asian character as in the color in the film, which has a subtle contrast between warm and cold light, creating a unique atmosphere.
Warm yellow tones appear in interior scenes, covering the space with a nostalgic, intimate feeling but at the same time heavy and gloomy. The soft light from the lamps, mixed with darkness and smoke, creates a vague and mysterious feeling, evoking the feeling that time is slowing down or being distorted.
Cold blue tones are used in everyday moments, bringing a feeling of distance and insecurity. The light blue light mixed with dark tones creates a quiet space but contains an underlying instability, as if a secret or danger is lurking in the dark.
Vibrant red, appearing as an accent in the palette, not only attracts the eye but also evokes a sense of intensity, intensity or potential danger. It contrasts strongly with other tones, highlighting important details or creating tension in climactic moments.
This palette is a blend of pleasant warmth and chill, of fleeting joy and deep unease. It creates a space that is both real and ambiguous, perfect for portraying the emotional range and complexity of the story.
