Title Sequence

To start off I researched popular T.V shows and popular Video games opening sequences.

The Last of Us developed by Naughty Dog Productions. (Video game).

It starts off with a black screen showing names of people involved in bold white text it also show molecular cells of blood, since this game genre is thriller, the way the sequence tells us the roles is telling us the voice actors names first then the behind the scenes crew (i.e. programming) the tells us the managers of the game at the very end. 

Grimm by the NBC. (T.V show)

Title appears before the behind the scenes crews names are shown similar to The Last of Us but the show the actors names in the first scene of each episode in order of appearance. The opening scene also shows previous action scenes from previous scenes.

 

Now I’m moving on to AS media products.

‘Never Again’ by Team 7 Productions

The opening sequence is the first scene. It introduced everyone that was a part of the film in first 30 seconds. The crew use establishing shots with a slightly tinted dark filter to create trepidation. Then we have the footage cutting to and from black screen to a boy running in time with the music. Has quite fast passed action music.

The following by Flora day

Has establishing shots and again introduces everyone that was involved with the film in the first 30 seconds. Has quite slow techno music. Uses red text to relate the film to blood and also suggests that the film is a thriller.

Friend Request by Skyline Productions

Has establishing shots of first scene and introduces people that were involved in the film in the first 30 seconds. The music has a slow piano solo playing to make it feel eerie. Has boom sounds when introducing parts of the antagonist. Uses a dark filter so we can barely see the antagonist to create the scare factor.

Suggestions for our film.

Use a dark filter to create our scare factor. As regards to the text I would suggest if we a dark background use white and for a light background use black text, we could also use red text for any type of background and it also represents blood. As regards to soundtrack we need something with a high tempo because the main character is almost always running. We should use establishing shots as well.
