EDITING - Titles; text colour

On 'Live Type' as we used the effect 'frigid' we had limited choice on the colour of the text. It automatically uses the colour blue and we are not very sure about this as we believe black on white/white on black would have appeared more professional. This means we had a dilemma as if we wanted this colour composition we would have to use a different effect which we didn't want to do as we were very happy with 'frigid'. Therefore, I researched some more psychological thrillers and found that 'Memento' uses a narrative opening with blue coloured titles. 



This settles the decision more as 'Momento' was a great success and there were no complaints on the choice of text colour used in the titles. If anything, it just makes them stand out and adds something to the dull lighting in the shots.
