The opening credits of my film will appear in a sans serif font in the center of the screen. The background will be solid blue and the text will be in a light grey.   Working Title: INVIZ   Since the title is a play on Invisible – it will disappear after 2-3 second and the screen will be blank for 2-3 seconds afterwards.   The title will be bold face font and all caps: IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS   The titles will flash in and out as I cut from one title to the next.   They will appear for 2-3 seconds each.
