Maybe something that looks a bit scratchy and less neat. This will match the mood of the film. The title will appear in the middle, and the credits will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. -Title of film: the intended title for this project will be called "Backstabber". -It will be a large, thin, Times New Roman style. -The title that appears first will be in the middle of the screen in a larger size. -The credits for this film will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. -The titles will pop onto the screen and slowly fade out after a few seconds. -The color of the words will be white, and depending on how bright the lighting is for each scene, we will decide if there should be a black outline added. -The title of the credit will not be bolded but the name appearing...

 Hello! With the final task deadlines rapidly approaching, it was time to conduct research on the opening sequences of various movies! After some research, I discovered a website called Art of the Title . This site has thousands of opening sequences from movies, organized alphabetically by designers and studios to make it easier to find certain films. I also found another website called Watch the Titles . This website also has excellent organization, giving me a strong base to work off of for my own film. Both websites have films from all kinds of genres, including the genre I selected for my film- mystery! I explored both platforms and after some consideration, I decided that both websites would be of great use to my group and me. I will definitely be utilizing these websites due to their complex nature and remarkable organization. This will make researching titles both easy and enjoyable!
