Making Production and Film Title

I firstly got an image from Google of a boy with a yoyo, which is going to be the production company logo. Because I wanted to animate the yoyo and have the boy static, I imported the image into Photoshop and split the image up into individual sections, which formed different layers. I then added a paper background and typed the production name next to it.

I then saved the individual images and opened up Final Cut Express. I imported each of them and then openede up the Motions panel. I then animated the logo by moving the yoyo and the string pieces up and down. Afterwards I imported some copyright free music and added it on to the timeline. I trimmed it and faded it in and out along with the actual production title.

I was initially going to make the Exodus title using LiveType but Final Cut was better as I could put it on the timeline straight away. I typed Exodus in white against a black background as we wanted it to be a simplistic and serious title. I seperated and stretched the letters to make it look more dramatic, and animated it to zoom and then fade out on the screen.
