In our opening sequence we have to include certain texts providing information about the people involved within the making of the film. I have started looking at some examples of opening title sequences before but now I believe that it is more important to narrow down my research to the ones that the group like. This is important because we origianlly wanted the text to be apart of the opening therefore we have to now look at our storyboard and decide on when and how our text appears on screen.
Our initial thoughts as a group were to have two different fonts which behaved differently depending on the scene they were in. For example in the scenes with the older protagonist we decided that it wouldn't work to have the 'jittery' text because these scenes are slower and sadder due to the character being overwhelmed with the flashback. In addition the 'jitteryness' wouldn't reflect the loneliness and shock the character is experiencing in these scene and would feel out of place therefore leading to the opening not working as a hole.
Another option was to keep the titles in just one part, for example just the jittery part of the opening. However this may cause the text to become repetitive and meaningless because the audience may overlook it. This is why I believe we should and use different fonts that behave differently.
Examples of openings we liked included:
- Batman TV series
- Batman Dark Knight Rises
- Dr. No (James Bond)
- Dexter
- Vertigo
