Framing of the Title Screen

The content of the frame.
Can be found from previous post.

  • A press start display.
  • Some cases
    • Option
    • Continue Game
    • Credit
  • Copyrights of the game from the game company.
More information about start screen technically can be found

As for now I planning to make the start screen with no animation and only including start button and copy right of the game company.

I am doing this because in my own understanding the information should clear and simply, that its a start screen where player's must press the start button to proceed. While focus on this primary objective I plan to include the copy right of the game company so that any information export from the game at that point on is against the law. [ Depends on the use ]. And give credit to developers of the game.

Information presenting
  • Start Button
  • Copyrights of the game from the game company [Number plat of the car]
Secondary Information
  • Expectation & Hyping of the game.
    • Graphics
    • Game play
    • Pace
    • Tone
    • Mood
Framing the Screen

Adding the images into Sketch Up


Framing the Image














Understanding the composition



Directing players eyes.

You can see how I plan to direct the player eye through the number from 1 to 4.
  • First I coverage them to see the car. The largest and most attracted object in the image.
  • Then by pointing the all large object to the top right, the player will able to see the title of the game.
  • After that, using a method of golden ratio, player will naturally see the press start button.
More information on composition can be found from Wikipedia. Link is below.

Next I plan to further enhance the image by playing with color and lighting.

Now I would to dive deeper into this. Certain design choices made before production due to time and resources constraint.

I have to show Emotion and Story through Color, Layout, Lighting, Atmosphere and Sound.

Adding the Disclaimer

The original idea for the disclaimer is to be a classic Disclaimer. Example can be seen below. At minute 7.17 can see the example Link for the video at 7.17 However, Andrew has prepared the video before seeing my comment and his approach works much better so we ticked with it. The sources for the disclaimer. First I found a template from this website.  Template THE DISCLAIMER Here is a standard motion picture disclaimer...

Title Screen Should be done in a way to sell the idea of story or more importantly establish the mood, feel and pace of the story. Eg. Credit Screen I Credit screen as 2 things. There is one version where it is to allow the audience to absorb the story and its conclusion. An epic story that is told beautifully takes a good amount time to comprehend and swallow. Eg.
