What title sequences are and what they MUST need.

What a title sequence is and their job:

- They are the first impression
- Outlines the film makers intentions
- Takes responsibility of displaying the movies title, studio brand identity, the name of the director, and establishing the hierarchy of actors.
- Establishes the mood of the film and visual characters of the film.
- Set the tone, providing the mood and for shadowing the action.What title sequences should do:

- A successful title sequence should draw the viewer into the movie and to provide an introduction so that when someone goes back to the film they can have the 'ah' moment as they realise the proleptic value of the sequence.- Should get the audience hooked and excited to watch the film.

Juno

We looked at this title sequence 'Juno' as a group. Here are the things we came up about it:

The title sequence shows us:

- Genre of the film.

- Title

- Tells the audience who produced it, etc.

- Show casing who is going to be the star in the film.

- Introduction to main characters.

- Draws audience in through the change of real life to cartoon.

- Shows us the setting.

- Should attract their selected target audience.

Seven

We then looked at the Mise-En-Scene of this title sequence 'Seven'. After watching this sequence I felt disturbed and on edge about the rest of the film. It also made me think up the questions of 'who is the murderer?' and 'why is the person doing this?' I think that this is what the producer wanted the audience to feel like when watching the title sequence.

Here is what we witnessed throughout the sequence:

- Characters not clearly shown

- Location was not obvious

Props used:

- Old looking objects

- Old book

- Blade

- Hooks

- Pen and paper

- Tape

- Old tapes/film

- Eery pictures/developing photographs

- Sewing paper
