titles on a blank screen:
This types of title sequence is a low budget technique of trying to get institutional information across. its done by having a black background and titles in white to create contrast so the information is clearly seen.
Example: Psycho
- plain , easy to understand and allows the audience to clearly see who the relevant people were involved with the film
- music in the back round allows audience to get a sense of the genre
Titles on stil images:
- these title are more developed than title on a blank screen and developed to include hand drawn borders and other images
- image used in the background used to hint at the genre of the film
- development of titles meant titles were getting longer and allowed more to be included, rather than just the studio name
- As the they started to get more complex, people started to recognise the importance of title sequences to the film
Example: wimbledon
- Aesthetically more pleasing and the people viewing the film its a lot more enticing to look at and gets the message across a lot better than words on a blank screen
Titles over moving images:
- Incorporates the credit titles with moving images behind titles and incorporates sound but no dialogue.
- reasons for using moving images: 1. metaphor 2.narrative thread, introduces story lines of the film
Example: city of god
- It allows the audience to see the information as week as get hooked into the film with the surrounding images.
- Also it allows the film to set the scene and get straight into the film
titles using animation or motion:
- titles them selves became part of the moving image and are integrated together with image we see
- requires a lot of technology and stylised edits
Example: Casino royal
- Symbolic images and shapes of what will happen in the movie.
- Foreshadowing scenes within the animation.
- Each animation and image is relevant to the theme
What two title sequences are most important:
- titles using animation or motion
- titles over moving images
