Types Of Title Sequences

The 4 Types Of Title Sequences 

1. Discrete title sequences opening scene

- Separately filmed clips that go before the film begins

- They set the mood and tone for the rest of the film

- e.g. Skyfall- the characters look professional by wearing suits/smart clothes and there is weapons and blood around them. Adele's film score is suspenseful and James Bond appears the most, letting us know that he is the main character.

2. Stylised opening scene

-relies heavily on editing to set the mood

- sometimes the text is within the scene itself

- the font shows a lot of the mood usually, e.g. is the font is sharp, it can show us that the film will involve some weapons or danger.

3. Credits over a blank screen opening scene

- blank background with a contrasting text color

- music/sound can be used to set the scene

-A good example is Star Wars The Force Awakens

4. Narrative sequence opening scene

- a character usually speaking

- we can make a judgment/ idea of the character before they are introduced into the film

- allows us to get an insight into the character and storyline.
