Typography 2

                       
We have now agreed to use this font for our titles because it is easier to read than my previous choice however it still looks very much like handwriting. Because it will be difficult to copy this font exactly we have decided to print it onto good quality paper and perhaps go over it in pen/pencil to give it more of a natural feel. This is how we will construct the letter written by Arrow to Finn.

The next step.

We met with Miss Whittaker on monday and discussed our title sequence and our progress so far. We came across a few problems with our original story board idea and had to take out the part we planned where the titles appear on a notebook because of its impracticality. Also we discovered it could be too time consuming which may result in missing the deadline. Another problem we came across with this was that these titles would have been of the lesser actors in the film and at this point these names would be the main focus. Leanne also noticed that we didn't have a wide enough rage of different shots and camera angles, so that was something we needed to take into account and change. In the next post i will show you our new story board and new ideas. Due to this being taken out i will no longer have to search for invisible ink and therefore i need to be appointed a new job.

Invisible Ink

When i typed in invisible ink to you tube a few different options appeared. invisible ink which is visible with a UV light, making invisible ink from lemon juice and disappearing ink which involves phenolphthalein and an acid based reaction. Originally we wanted to buy a pen which makes a mark then disappears and reappears but apparently this does not exist. In this case we may either have to find a way to make this ink or edit the text accordingly. Below there are a few videos which show these methods.
