As my film opening is quite eerie - and as it's in the
thriller/horror/sci-fi hybrid genre - I wanted my titles to reflect this.
My
analysis of films within similar genres gave me an idea of what font style, coloring, effect and size I was looking for.
After scrolling through the FinalCut Pro pre-made fonts, I settled on a simple
sans-serif font called 'DREAM. I chose this font because the sans-serif style meant that it fit with what's typically seen within the genre, while the colour (a pale blue-tint that seems to glow ever so slightly) links to the Sci-Fi genre.

'DREAM'

I did consider using a font more typical of the horror genre (something clichéd along the lines of dripping blood,) but decided against it as I wanted my font to like to the Sci-Fi genre, to appear as natural as possible onscreen, and to not seem cheesy or comic.
The order that my title's appear in is as follows:
 |
Appearing on the lower left of the screen, this title is larger than the F9 Films credit, as SilverSalt Studios (my company) were the main producers. |
 |
This title also appears on the lower left side of the screen, and gives credit to Charles Verfeurth's film company as he occasionally took on the role of being my cameraman. |
 |
Appears on the upper left corner of the screen; the actress playing the protagonist. As my film's cast and crew consisted of three members I was able to keep the number of titles fairly limited (typical of the genre,) while still giving credit to those involved. |
 |
I added my name as the final title to credit myself as the role of the antagonist. |
