Introduction
This week, I focused on creating my credits for my animated artefact. I used Buster Keaton’s intro and outro scene as a visual reference for my own design.
Intro & Final Credits
Buster Keaton Reference
In order to design my intro scene, I used Buster Keaton’s credits as a reference, as I wanted to include an intro scene that portrayed the idea of silent films.
Intro Scene
In my intro scene, I present the name of my short episode, using a slab serif typeface named Good Bad Man, as it communicates the look and feel of cinema credits.
In addition, I also included some details on the course and University I am attending to, replicating the content structure of Buster Keaton’s intro scene.
I also wanted to include the final credit ‘The End’ as it was widely used in the 1960s, especially in Hanna-Barbera cartoon animations.
Finally, I also added some ornaments on the frame and a texture as I wanted to create a grainy silent film background.
