Type for Video RAHS Video Productions
The Rules of Type in Video • 1. Make sure the font is readable on screen. • 2. Make sure that it fits your theme. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbMa4MGFCOg
SimpleBetter • Centered • Lower third • 5 X 5 rule: 5 words or less/no more than 5 lines • Keep it longer than you’d like • Since time is important, over black might be avoided
Use the same font! • Keep it consistent • Avoid default font • Too showy is noticeable • Too complex unreadable
Things to Avoid: • Star Wars titling • Too quick/Too long • Too small • Too showy • Too much animation • ANYTHING that is there because its cool
