- Most title sequences list the most important members of the production.
- They can be superimposed on a screen or put over the action.
- It may or may not have to use use music.
- The aim of the sequence may be to establish either character, setting, genre and mood or atmosphere for the audience to have hints before the film starts properly.
Film titles also need conventions like any other media text which is around for example the format, content and the techniques used on the text.
- The technical convention is a normal layout for the text, where the text shows up over the top of the pictures.
- The symbolic conventions show us what is beneath the surface of what we see this can be shown by the use of a characters belongings.
-The Genre convention which help us understand the genre by looking at a text.
Normally title sequences start with theses common credits:
- Name of production companies.
- Producer.
- Name of the title.
- Directer
This is only the convention as it is done in many other ways in which are completely different with this.
After this we then went on to look at title sequence time lines, so watched how to make one then we went of in pairs and made are own one by going onto a website called http://www.artofthetitle.com/ from this website you are given a title sequence to watch once watching it once we then created our own title sequence time line on the title sequence which we got this was "The Pacific" this is it, our first attempt at creating one:
After creating our title sequence time lines we compared and looked at every ones. We then moved on to analysing pre-existing title sequences such as "se7ven" and then "Napoleon Dynamite" and a few more this helped us to understand why some of the title sequences are the way they are whether they are conventional or not.
