It'll be important that our title sequence has contrasting colours to the footage in order for it to stand and be legible.
Most of the title sequence will appear on a white background, so the titles will have to be dark colours, in quite dull shades. However this is good for us, as we are trying to convey the conventions of the thriller genre. Our most appropriate choices are:
Red
Blue
Black
We found out the 'meanings' of these colours, to help us decide which relates best to our project.
Red is the warmest colour of them all, and closely linked to the love and fortitude. Although it is also known to mean anger or temper, as well as danger and blood, survival and vitality.
Blue supposedly shows faith, immortality, eternity and spirituality. It is known to be one of the more calming colours, as it can be linked to heaven and the sky. However, the different shades of blue can give quite different meanings.
Black can be mistaken in different contexts to mean one of two things; either smart, posh elegant and formal, or, on the other hand, evil, grief, despair, threatening or even death.
We will be more likely to use black as this fits in at the time in which the titles appear; on a document, with black font on it. To make the titles stand out to this background fonts, we will have to make sure that the titles are bold and a lot larger than the other font on the documents within the mise-en-scene.
