So what is a title sequence? The title sequence is the method in which titles are presented at the very beginning of a film, tv, or any other media format. It introduces the key members to the making of the film, for example the production company, director and actors.
Since we are creating a thriller opening title sequence, I am going to have to learn and deconstruct how it has been done by many pro's before me. I am not going to be talking about the history or who is arguable the greatest at creating title sequences (Saul Bass) but instead be analyzing how its done.
For our media piece I was inspired a lot by Guy Ritches Snatch. It was credit by two sick graphic designers calleds STUART HILTON and IAN CROSS, who ripped off there style from old boxing posters. This is prevalent in the freeze framing they did.
Right. So when creating a title sequence, you have to make sure that it all comes in at the right order. For example it wouldn't begin with the assistant directors name, it would begin with the production company as we can see from the example of snatch.
While I would of loved to go on all creative on this project, and have the boxing stylized effect on the freeze frame our piece was gonna be a more modern piece instead of a recreation of snatch from the 90's.
Here is the order in which the titles pursue...

Here is the order in which the titles pursue...
The biggest financial contributor to the film is
shown first, this is usually the production
company behind the film.
Both production companies are shown in big
bold lettering, so everyone knows who they are.
The rest of the titles go in order of importance.
The producer is shown once and the beginning
and once at the end so no one forgets.
This is the same for the director, who is shown
last to make the greatest impact.
Then finally the most important part... the title
of the film.
