Beginning introduction titles.

To create the introduction titles I wanted to have a war time theme. Something that will stand out, something that wont look out of place and something that will make it look dramatic. So for the background of the titles I need a texture that looks warn, roting wood or rusted metal. I have decided to go with rusted metal, rotting wood doesn't have that strong, but cold feeling to it. I found this image on the Internet:


It's a very poor image, but it's perfect for what I want. It's a very small image but that can be sorted out. I loaded it up in Photoshop and made the image the size of the final animation clip which is 1280x720. I then went into filters and chose Distort > Defuse Glow.


I can now add some text onto this.


I have added some text and also added a nice drop shadow, just to make it look a bit more atmospheric.

There will be four of these, one that introduces the original film, 'First of the few', 'Battle of Britain', '1942' and 'Michael Whiteley'. These will fade in, and fade out. These affects will be added in after effects.


As you can see I have control over the brightness and contrast. The plan is at the beginning of the image it will be black it will then brighten and then go back. You can see that some rows have diamonds in them, these are key frames, these key frames are fixed value so at that particular time it will be that value. The first key frames are -100 so it will be totally black. The second key frames for brightness will be 30 and for contrast it will be 50, it looks better to have a higher contrast because it will stand out more and seem like it's flashing, the third key frames will be -100 again because that's the fade out.
