Day 15: Don't we need a title??

Hi there! I hope you are doing well, because I know I am. As you know, the name of my film (opening) is going to be "Maia: Unfiltered". Recently, I started my own personal blog, and the name I chose for this project is one of the names that I scrapped. I think that this fits the film because the main character is going to be blogging about every aspect of her life, and the film will explore those things as well. 

Let me explain the process in choosing my fonts for the title card. I want my character to be a full of joy, cheerful, and unique, so the font that I choose has to reflect that. I also wanted to tie in the blog because that will be a big portion of the film. Without further ado, here were the different versions of the title card that I came up with, and the final one that I chose.


Version 1: I liked the idea of the keyboard, but I didn't like the actual font inside the keys.



Version 2: I really liked that there were 2 different fonts, but I didn't like the way that they looked together. The font of "unfiltered" was the one I ended up going with.



Version 3: I thought that the drawn font of "Maia" was nice because it shows a bit of personality, but the way that the two fonts looked together wasn't what I imagined.



Version 4 (final): I'm super happy with the final product, because I think that each font represents what I want it to. The font of "Maia" is unique and the hot pink makes it stand out a bit more, just like my own character. The font for "unfiltered" is supposed to represent the keys of the keyboard and tie in the blog theme. 


This is the font that I used for the keyboard portion. 


I found the other font, for "Maia" on Pinterest, but it is actually a set on Canva, which is the platform I used to design the title card.


For the title, I think I'm going to try to overlay the title onto the opening, so that there is still a clip playing in the background. When it's time for editing, I'll show you what I end up doing. Thank you for reading today's post and I hope you enjoyed the updated story!  I'll catch you on the next one!
