Timeline title sequence research


This task was done in 'Louisa's' lesson. in the lesson we conducted a few 'Clarity' tasks and we also completed the tasks sheets 'Title sequence analysis and Class analysis of a title sequence'.


This was conducted at the very beginning of the lesson, it was basically a overview of the four phases of the new  'Film openings' objective, this was very helpful. 
This was done somewhere at the beginning of the lesson also, it was also a 'clarity' task.

For this task,  we had to separate to small groups (two's or three's) and we had to analyse a title sequence and then present our findings back to the rest of the class.

For this task, we had to analyse a title sequence to a film. The task's heading stated that we would look at the sequence twice, and as we watched, we had to make notes in the grid shown. 

This is my groups attempt at ordering the title sequence .

This is the conventional order of title order sequence.

After Louisa's lesson on title sequences, we can draw the conclusion that in films that follow the conventional title sequence order:
  • The film title almost always appears near the one minute mark, in between the beginning mark and middle point of the opening of the film.
  • The types of fonts used are usually bold, plain & simple, contrasting to the on screen footage and relatively straight forward.
