ART OF THE TITLE

We visited www.artofthetitle.com to see how other films in our genre organised their title sequence.

Below are some of the examples we looked at:


PANIC ROOM-

THE NEGOTIATOR-

SHERLOCK HOLMES-

SWEENEY TODD-

Through researching other title sequences we noticed that other film sequence fonts were often kept simple, bold, in contrast with the background and often shaped into the landscape. As a result we have kept our font simple, and shaped it into our scenery for example a wall. The titles also appear to be posed in different positions and often animated. Although we have placed our titles in different positions on the screen, we have decided not to animate our titles as we want to create a feel of realism to help make our film opening as realistic as possible without being a drama. This will help create suspense and familiarity and emotion within our audiences.

Our title sequence

   The titles in our film are often introduced at significant points of the film. The titles themselves are simple, bold and are a contrasting colour compared to the background. We have chosen to use font, not dissimilar to handwriting to give the illusion that the words are the writings of the suicidal boy before he jumps. This makes the titles clear and the names stand out amongst the picture. The titles will be placed in different angles and heights creating tension.

My film title

My group and I have chosen to keep our main titler rather simplistic although imposing.

      The title itself is simple, bold and are a contrasting colour compared to the background. We have chosen to use font, not dissimilar to handwriting to give the illusion that the words are the writings of the suicidal boy before he jumps.....or does he?. This makes the titles clear and the names stand out amongst the picture. The titles will be placed in different angles and heights creating tension.

PRODUCTION IDENT

Here is our finished production ident :

We have created our production ident to have a bold and universal appearance. This is so that it can be used worldwide and share a universal approach to production idents. The font itself is bold so that it attracts the audiences' attention as well as having a very versatile nature as this ident can be used in a wide range of film genres.The ident itself is rather mysterious, relevent for a film in the thriller genre. The title at first appears to be shattered pieces of metal(shrapnal) which then combine to form the name of our production company 'THT productions'.

Faded (half finished version)

This is the half finished version of my media project :L there still needs to be some titles added and the audio could do with an update... But otherwise you get an idea of our film opening.
