Making the Film's Main Title - Animation

I typed THE SUBSEQUENT OF SIN and added a red glow, then I created another layer and copied this but changed the initials S, O, S to make them bigger than the other text and changed the colour to a dark red as I think red is too vibrant.
I clicked on the timeline option at the bottom and then clicked on the frame without the red initials and the frame with it, then clicked on the button with the 3 grey circles which adds a fading transition between to the two frames.
I tested out some warping effects on the text as well, however I did not like this as it looked unprofessional.
I created a new frame and typed out S O S and formatted it to be the same as the red initials on the previous frame.
I added the same fading effect but on the red initial frame and the new S O S frame so the text would change from the Subsequent Of Sin to SOS. I added 10 frames between them so the transition would be smooth.
The transition between Subsequent Of Sin and SOS was quite jumpy and not as smooth as I had wanted it, so I added more frames between the transition frames to make it smoother.


From The House At The End of the Street trailer, there is a Copyright reference at the bottom which say © HATES LLC so I modelled that in our to say © SOS LLC.
Next, I added the film's slogan "Nothing can save your soul" - a refer to the the acronym SOS. I added another transition so that the SOS title expands when the slogan appears.
