Livetype is another editing software that we will use in the production of our horror trailer. It is a program used to create text and have the ability to edit and add effects and transitions to produce effective subtitles and animations that we can then import into our movie trailer on Final Cut Express.

although we will be creating our titles and subtitles in Photoshop, we will be importing them into Livetype in order to add transitions that we can then use in our horror trailer. Livetype offers a wide range of transitions much like the ones available in Final Cut Express although they are more suited to the titles and specifically the text. we only want the titles to appear for approximately 3-5 seconds maximum as in many of the horror trailers we have analysed, they have played a small part in the overall appearance of the trailer, but this we believe is a better way to go as we want the fast pace of our trailer to be maintained throughout and not to be slowed down by the titles. it will also give the viewer more prompt signals about the movie other than tell them the complete plot.
