Our Credits.

For our credits we are going to experiment with fonts to see what works best with our film. The credits will be either black, since it matches our film that's all in black and white. We could also have one accent of colour in each shot in the credits. They will be positioned in various places depending on what else is in the shot and wont be too large, but big enough that they can be read easily. Here are some font experiments for the film title:

Fading Fast (Algerian)
Fading Fast (Adamsky SF)
Fading Fast (Candy Buzz BTN)
Fading Fast (Castellar)
Fading Fast(LCD5x8H)
Fading Fast (Platinum Beat BTN)
Fading Fast (Youngsook BTN)

I like the LCD5x8H font, because it stands out and fits with the mystery theme of our film, since it has the line through the middle that looks like a slash. I also like the Youngsook BTN font, because it can be easily read and looks dramatic. It's also a unique writing style much like the other one.   
    For the rest of the credits I like the Candy Buzz BTN font, since it is readable and small but can stand out. It is a simple font but looks like handwriting, therefore would be noticeable in amongst out shots. It would also fit with the old fashioned theme. The credits could be a yellowish colour to give an eerie look but would keep with being old fashioned. 

The Leftovers Season 2 title sequence

Cinematography
In one shot at 20 seconds, a figure of a girl jumping, she is the focus of attention, since she is made from an image of a galaxy and is positioned to the left of the centre on a white background. The surroundings are plain and simple compared to her. This could suggest that she was once an important person, that has now joined the missing people.
Mise-En-Scene
There is mainly country locations shown, with fields and rivers or a lake, a wood and simple housing estates. In some of the shots the missing people blend into the background, since the images used for the are from the same area or are of similar places. However others stand out greatly against the background, creating a contrast, since their body is made from an image of a galaxy or of stars.
Editing
The opening is a montage of pictures with groups of people in. In each shot at least one person has been edited out and in the shape of a person are images of galaxies and stars, the sky, the countryside or rain and water. This suggests that they have disappeared, but not completely, since the person's outline is still visible. Some of the images in the outlines of the people move, suggesting that time has been passing, meaning that they have been gone for some time. Due to everything else in the whole shot not moving, this could suggest that for them time has almost stopped while the others carry on without them. About 30 seconds into the opening one girl is in shot and slowly fades away, her outline left behind like all of the others. This could suggest that she doesn't disappear until part way through the series.
Sound
In the background of the whole opening is a country sounding song called, 'Let the mystery be.' by Iris Dement. It is upbeat with a guitar behind vocals from the female singer. This is contrasted to the actual lyrics that the singer says, for example, 'Some say once you're gone you're gone forever and some say you're gonna come back'. This could be foreshadowing what will happen to the missing people. This contrast is again shown by the shots of people next to their missing counterparts.
