Titles Sequence

The Title Sequence in a film is very important and is sometimes confused with credits, but they are different. The Title Sequence is at the beginning of a film and is the time to present the key people in production, key cast members, also the title of the film. There are many things that can be done to make a title sequence different from another film and also to singular it out so that it is remembered for your film due to it relating to the theme of your film.

I think a fantastic example is the 2006 James Bond film 'Casino Royale', which uses Rotoscoping to make the title sequence match the casino theme of the film and this keeps the viewer engaged through out, thus remembering the key names.


In regards to the opening sequence of my film the techniques my group used were based on the title sequence styles of the british Guy Rihcie film Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

The relation with Lock Stock and our film is the use of cross cutting from a black screen with text, including the essential cast and crew names along with the title of the film, to the film. We used this because it is a good way of introducing the key people of the film while maintaining the pace of the film and keeping the audience engaged with the film and not bored by simple monotonus white text on a black background.

Audience Research

The Genre of our film is British Crime Thriller. However even though we knew this we did some filmed research in our college with both students and teachers participating to see how our film would be received and also to see people's preferences in the 'world of cinema'.
