After today I have managed to get together my first production card and have the photos in which I will turn into the film version of my production cards.
The name of my Studio for my opening sequence is called "Inspiration Pictures" and the idea came from a simple discussion with someone about creating a production card. All I needed was Inspiration. From there I got a simple technique of back-lighting letters and allowing shadows to appear.
My first step was to decide on a font that would stand out on screen. I used a normal block font to allow an easy read for the audience. I drew the lettering on card so when I cut it out it would stand up better than paper.
From here it took me a long time to cut out each individual letter to allow it to stand up. Moving on I took the lettering of "Inspiration" and tried to fit in-front of a particular background to make the white card stand out. In front of a coloured background it worked but did not have the striking effect that I was trying to create. So instead I chose a black background to make the white stand out. I also back-lit the lettering to create shadows of the card to add effects.
My next step was to create the "Pictures" to use in the Production Card. I followed the same technique but made the font size a bit smaller so that "Inspiration" called be noticed more. After cutting it out I got a few more text shots with the camera to hopefully use.
From the image above of a straight on shot of "Inspiration Pictures" an idea formed to make the letters appear in order popping up one by one. The next few images give the idea of what I was trying to achieve (Not all letters are featured).
The final step to the production card is to put all of it together and then when nearer the film, add music too it that will again add to atmosphere and run into the film.
