After researching similar titles, I made my own in Adobe Photoshop. The soft glow makes the title seem out of focus, mysterious and otherworldly. The lens flare is reminiscent of the UFO in the trailer. Other examples of lens flares in sci-fi films can be seen in much of J.J. Abrams' work such as Super 8 and Star Trek. The next thing I wanted to do was animate it; I wanted the lens flare to appear on the 'I'. To do this I made a second version without the flare and then took the two images into Adobe Premier Elements. I stitched them together and used a 'cross dissolve' which gave a good fade in effect.
