Most film openings are around 2 minutes long, we kept to that with our opening at 2:43
We also chose a decaying/rough font because it made the titles look more gritty, which was inspired by se7en's font.
Conventions of a Title Sequence and How We Followed It
- Production company
We used the college Ident as it made more sense to the film to keep it small and independent.
We made our own ident to follow the college ident.
We repeated the production companys through discrete titles. This emphasied the companies names which is used in most films.
- Film Title
With this shot of our title, it was the only text and in the center, contrasting against the red and black. Although small, it still stands out.
- Main Cast
The main cast have their own time on screen and are the only individual names.
- Smaller cast names
To make the titles as realistic as possible we made up random names and added them in. We also grouped their names together and put them in the corner; making them still noticeable by colour, but not by frame placement.
- Casting/Music
For the music and casting we put them on individually and gave them an equal amount of screen time
- Editor/Director of Photography
Editor and director of photography were in the same camera sequence and placed in the same corner as the camera was getting a big shot.
- Producer/Writer/Director
These final three titles finished off the stylized intro.
