Title Sequence Final

The title sequence was made to feel mysterious. We used a font called Bebas Neue, which has a modern look that adds to that vibe. Its bold and clean lines help the text stand out clearly against the background. The white color of the font makes it even more visible and strong. Blurring the background behind the title shows how isolated the characters are, just like when they are in the woods. We chose N.E.A.L for our studio name because it uses the first letters of our names (Nestor, Emily, Anabel, and Leon), which shows our teamwork on this project. The name Biggie Productions came from our love of food and eating together, adding a personal touch to what we do.

We also staggered the actors names to give it a movie-like feel, slowly introducing the main characters to the audience. This design helps set the mood and flow of the title sequence, getting everyone ready for what's coming next.
