     For our title designs, we plan to use different fonts, depending on the category of the subtitle. To actually find our fonts, we will use an online website. The website that we are using is www.dafont.com . Each title will be on a separate clip. For the Name of Studio and Name of Production Company we will use the font called “Prequel”. For the Actors Names, we will use “Roboto”. We will have three titles pop up for each name. For the film title, we want to use a bold, big font that will really make the name stand out. We will use the font “Awakenning”. For the Music By and Edited By titles, we will use the font “Headlines”. For Produced By, we will also use the font “Headlines”.

One transition will be the title will appear like it is on a sidewalk, then a foot will step on it and i...

  Location: The locations for this project are a house, a sidewalk, a school. Participants: The participants of this project are Rashawn Granderson, Constantine Feicket, and Hadar Kotzer. Health: We have a first aid kit and over-the-counter medicine. Rashawn’s mother has experience in the medical field, so if anything happens we will be prepared. Schedule: The dates that we are planning to film are March 6th, March 13th, and March 20th. That would give us 3 blogs for filming and we would do editing and other things throughout those time periods. Backup Plan: If it were to rain, we could use an umbrella, or film in the house. If one of the participants cannot come, we will film what we can without them, or edit the clips we already have.
