Therefore I decided to stick with this conventional typography and create my own. As we hadn't come up with a title at this point, I used to title "Found Footage".
At first, I set the background colour to black, and the text colour to white and typed out the phrase I wanted. "Found Footage".
I then needed to rasterize the text in order to add the specific effects I wanted in order to create my effect. Layer > Rasterize > Type.
Once the layer was rasterised, I copied the text layer 3 times so I had 4 copies of that text. I then went to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur (only on the original layer).
I entered in the angle of 90 degrees with a distance of 150 pixels. This meant the text had a ghost like effect at the top and bottom of it.
I then did the same again but on the first copied layer. Filter > Blur > Motion Blur.
I then entered the angle at 0 degrees but with the same distance of 150 pixels. This gave a ghost like blur to the left and right of my text.
I then merged the first two text layers by selecting them both, right clicking and selecting merge layers.
Once these layers had merged together, I went to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. This would give the entire image an overall blur.
I sent these pixels to a radius of 2.0 which gave a soft subtle blur around my text.
There are still two copied layers that haven't had any effect on them. I merged these two together, as I did before and then went Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and set the radius to 8 pixels, giving the text a stronger blur than before.
On this top layer, I inserted a layer mask. This would create a layer over the top of my existing layers. At the bottom of the task bar, there is an icon that looks like a half shaded in circle. I selected this and went to hue/saturation.
I made sure the figures were colorised by selecting the colorised button then entered 123 into the hue section and 40 into the saturation box, leaving the lightness box at 0.
I then flattened all of the layers, resulting in my final product:
