After deciding that we wanted to try incorporating the True Detective style titles, we created our own titles in this style using screenshots from the footage and photoshop. I overlaid pictures of Heygate Estate that I took for a previous art project, as this would be the ideal location for out overall film, and this would be where the rest of the film would be shot. We only created these titles for the two characters met in the opening, as shown below.
Eliza and I used a hue overlay, creating the sepia effect shown in the True Detective titles. We used the similar idea of shots of the upper body, changing opacity so that some detail of the characters was available, but the buildings where visible underneath. I then blurred the edges using Gaussian blur to add a softer edge. To compare, some True Detective screenshots are shown below:
