Every films holds credits at the beginning but mostly the end. Livetype is a software program developed to create animated title sequences for video projects. Livetype contents includes fonts, textures, objects, templates and effects. All attributes of each title or character can be changed and key framed, including the size, drop shadow, outline, extrusion, glow, opacity and tracking of the text. Livefont is one of the key features, being fonts with animated characters, you can choose one that suits the genre of your clip of intented soundtrack. These animated characters include styles such as handwriting, smoke writing, fire, and blinking LED characters. Various animation effects can be applied to type, either Live Fonts or normal system fonts. There are, for example, glows, scrolls, fades and zooms. The timing of the effects can be customized and new effects can be created from scratch using key framing. Any image or movie file can also be placed and edited on the canvas also, in this case it would be the opening scene of our created thrillers, this way the credits can accurately appear exactly when and where we desire them.

Sound
Sound is important in a film, it helps to create mood and amosphere suiting the genre and film intention such as suspense. It is also a vital key that we use our own soundtracks in our own thrillers as they may be copyrighted. Soundtrack Pro is a software where we can create this. It allowed me to experiment with a range of different sounds to create a piece that sounded thriller like, sound genres varied from jazz, orchestral, distorted, electrical, urban, drum and bass etc. I dragged my chosen sounds to the Soundtrack Pro timeline and increased or decrease their lengths according to how I wanted my piece to sound. By clicking the volume tab down i was able to increase and decrease the sound volume according to my movie clip in terms of timing i.e. when someone speaks volume down, when action volume up.
