Opening Titles

I am going with the opening title of SHELL SHOCK. the font i am using is called Consolas.
The font will show over a black screen in pitch black, I think an important part of the titles is the contrasting colours, and the black background with a white font is exactly what i want. The character casing is very loose on the titles as it seems to add a more serious effect to the tone of the film. The fact that each letter is standing individually helps convey this.

Opening Titles quotes

I thought that it would be a good idea to have a few quotes about mental illness effecting the troops of this country.
It seems that it would help convey the plot of the film to the viewer and help them understand what is going on even before its happened.

1) "Britain faces a "ticking time bomb" of mental illness and suicide as troops return from fierce combat..." The Tories
2) "We are living in a state of constant fear"
3) "War takes a toll on Iraqi mental health"
4) "War trauma leaves physical mark"
5) "War is hell... it has an impact on the people who take part that never heals"
6) "War is terrible and beyond the understanding and experience of most people"
7) "A generation has grown up knowing only war"

Titles

The title of my opening is something that i have debated over for a while.
Seeing as though my film is a war related drama, which refers to the psychological effects of war and loosing a friend, i thought it was only fitting that the opening title be something along the lines of a war related illness, here are some examples.

1) Shell Shock.
2) P . T . S . D
3) Time Bomb
