Film Title.

We discussed the colours of the film's title image within our group and decided that the background would look better white so it'd fit in with the flashback style within out opening sequence. From that, I found a new font to use that has more of an edgy, distorted look to reflect more of Ebony's personality. I then made this:

I found an image of an eye and photoshopped it within the 'o' of the name as I feel it looks more professional and aesthetically appealing than the one that I previously drew. I also added tints of red to the eye and the font to again represent events that unfold within the story that once again link to Ebony.

Title Sequence Photographs.

We had an idea for our title sequence to have snippets of video of us three in character doing different things as friends, and it will have lots of pictures overlapping them, with the titles moving with it. To develop this idea we're going to take pictures of the three of us in lots of different places, at different times on different days.

These are a few photographs which we've started with:

As a group we discussed that using this idea as our title sequence would make our film seem more like a mystery drama, rather than a thriller. Therefore we discussed other way of giving our title sequence more of a thriller element to it, we decided that, to create the thriller feel we needed our title sequence to be; pacey, dramatic, dark. jumpy and mysterious.

Title Sequence Research.

The title sequence is what films and television programs use to present their title and cast member. It should be relevant to the film, by using appropriate fonts and sounds. The title sequence is the first thing you will see when watching a film, it is important that it excites the viewer, making them eager to watch the film.

Some of the best title sequences yet are:

Sweeny Todd

 How to kill a mockingbird

           

Seven  

Panic Room

Hostage

Lord of war
