Research: Analysing title sequences

ANALYSING TITLE SEQUENCES

Title sequence 1: Dare devil

Things seen, heard and felt:

  • Religious symbolsim
  • Red lighting throughout entire sequence 
  • CGI blood and other CGI images
  • Single images of components of the film
  • Sinister atmosphere
  • Moody and dark attitudes
  • Instrumental and atmospheric music



Title sequence 2: American Horror Story

Things seen, heard and felt:

  • Dark atmosphere
  • Old fashioned objects
  • Old fashioned photographs
  • Fast paced clips
  • Gloomy
  • Actors names
  • Sinister and Morbid
  • Violent imagery
  • Dramatic music



Title sequence 3: Psycho

Things seen, heard and felt:

  • Fast paced
  • Moving animated lines
  • instrumental dramatic music
  • Monochrome and simplistic images
  • line transitions between shots
  • Old fashioned
  • Overview of the city 
  • Location of film

In a films opening sequence I expect to see a list of names including the cast members and production team. As well as this, relevant imagery or visual should be shown throughout the title sequence linking it to the story or genre of the film. Typography that suits the genre or mood of the film can be used to give the audience extra information of the film. The title of the film is one of the most important aspects of a title sequence.
