No need to shoot black video - just open the 'Color' library and drag and drop a black (or any colour at all ) block down in to the timeline - and put it in front of your video - and set it's duration to match the length of your title - no need to make a space - the video will slide out of the way for you when you drop the colour block in.you could put a transition like a crossfade across the join of block and video to make a smooth start to the video.
You can also put any image or patterned background you want there.
