Redemption is Survival Title

I typed out the title 'REDEMPTION IS SURVIVAL' and formatted it to be the correct size for Final Cut Pro and added outer glows. I wanted the word 'DEATH' to flash up in one of the layers to conform to the supernatural convention of things e.g. ghosts, demons, flashing up/appearing out of nowhere. At first, I tried it out by putting it behind 'SURVIVAL' which I had enlarged, however if the word was to flash up then the audience would not be able to notice it because 'SURVIVAL'  was so big.

 I moved 'DEATH' and changed the outer glow so the red was bigger and more vibrant.

 As the original titles was white with a red glow, and 'DEATH' looked very similar to this, I changed the glow's colour to white so it looked separate and would catch the audience's attention.

I tested a different font - this one is Hattenschweiler. I liked this as it looked bold and daunting, however if it were to flash up it is difficult to read in just a second.

 I tried this one called Herculanum but did not like this as it did not conform to either supernatural or horror title fonts.

I returned the font to the original as I thought I should keep it all the same to make it look neat. I also tried out slanting the text, however I thought it might look unprofessional.

I changed the glow to a greyish pink and put it to 250%. I liked this as it grabs your attention however it looked too faded so I lowered the glow level.

 I changed the Noise of the glow too and I liked this effect, However, I thought that if this were to be put into Final Cut Pro, to the audience it may look like the title became pixelated so I put the Noise back to 0.






I also changed the size of the glow to see which would be the best for 'DEATH'.

Then I lowered it to 32% but did not like this as it did not stand out as much.

I made the glow bigger and also altered the opacity of the glow (which I changed back to red) to 75% so it did not look too harsh.

Then I went back to the 'REDEMPTION IS SURVIVAL' titles and changed the opacity of the glow to 100% so they stood out more.

I tested out different colours for the actual word; I tried black because that colour denotes death. Also, the black blended in with the black background so it would be difficult to read the word in a second.






So I decided to change the colour to a dark grey, however this was still just as difficult to read.

 I also tested out red but felt that this looked unprofessional.
