Opening Title Ideas

After looking at various opening scenes such as those from True Blood and the film Se7en, we saw two different types of title sequences. These were those that include a various mash up of images (True blood) and those that are a continuous story shown developing to the audience (Se7en). The two types of title sequences have different effects on the audience as the story telling one usually acts as more of an introduction to the film and its' purpose whereas a mash up of images can leave suspicion and eagerness for the viewer as it leaves the intentions of the programme hidden. For our title ideas in the very early stages of planning, we have created two different titles from the two different styles and wrote down what we would include in both. However once again, this is the very early stages of planning and this will not result in our final decision for our title sequence because as we progress in our planning and create a better understanding of what we are creating, thoughts and opinions on the title sequence may change. This doesn't change the fact that from doing this piece of work we have been given a better understanding on how title sequences work and what they do to create effect.
