Title sequences

In todays lesson we started looking at title sequences of thriller moives, to help us create our own titles, so we know what to include, and how to include it.

Se7en



The title sequence of Se7en cuts the action up.


Panic room



The titles of Panic room appear as the setting of the movie is shown.

The brave One



The productions companies appear first, and the rest of the titles show a while the start of the movie plays.

Collateral

The movie starts straight away, and the title are held back for several minutes.

Green Zone

Some titles are shown at the start such as the production companies, but the main titles are held back for several minutes.


From watching these openings, and from openings of many other movies we have seen, we learned what is shown during the title sequence, and roughly what order they are shown in:

• Production companies with their indents
• 'A film by' with directors name
• The main stars of the movie
• Other stars in the movie
• Some of the main people who helped make the movie
• The director

And the title of the movie, which can appear anywhere between the above.
