Moving Pictures: Text

Decision-making on text in animation: exactly what text is required?
3-6 10second stings:
Author name: William Shakespeare
Title of text: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Publisher: Thomas Fisher, 1600
My made up republication: Random House, 2015

Typeface or handwriting?
Hand written type face because I want to incorporate into the sting such as the moons reflection/contextual pattern/tree's branches/facial expressions/bodies transforming into the words. The resolution will be clear like the rest of the image and will be clear and on screen for at least 3 seconds of the 10 second stings. It will form at the end of each of the stings and be created using the same media as the rest of the animation so that it works with the aesthetic of rest of the images. With this in mind the text will have a dark and magical/mysterious theme to it.

How will I layout text and consider design?
Words will form out of the woods etc, they may be slightly unevenly lined up purely as I will need it to fit into the letters into the background however, hopefully, this will give it a more mysterious/magical feel as it is not ordered perfectly.
Duration will be at least 3 seconds giving the audience a time to read it and take it in.
The font will be influenced by the historical context.
Colour decisions will depend on background colours and the mood of the scene.
The scale should be an appropriate size to fit on one 'page' as it would take up the entire sting duration if I had it bigger.

Identify 2 research sources of effective use of type with moving image, which will inform the use of type for your animation...
I will look into book release animation adverts and hand drawn opening credits for mystery/magical programmes/films.

Perhaps Baskerville.
