Title Sequences

Title Sequences

A title sequences is a method to present the film title, key credit productions and cast members. The opening credits of motion pictures are shown at the beginning and list the most important members of the production. The title sequence can be found on a blank screen or static pictures or sometimes on top of action. There may or may not be accompanying music. The use of art in title sequences is important as if the font size or colour doesn’t match the genre it may confuse the audience;

I watched several film openings and this convention was evidential;

Within Sleeping with the Enemy the blank screen and white large font follows the convention as the title of the film appears clearly after 40 seconds.

The title of the film follows the convention as it appears on top of action however its centre of the screen. The white bold font states the film title clearly appearing after 23seconds.

from researching and looking at how the title sequence follows the conventions, and in previous lessons learning the order in which they are presented, i now have an idea of how to adapt this to my piece in the future. Using the conventions and research we began to place credits within our prelim , this helped me put what i have learnt into practise.
