Researching Title Sequence Convetions

I have started to research into the conventions of a title sequence and begun putting together a power point which also includes examples.

  1. Rather hilariously (and not a little on the annoying side), that incredibly dodgy site Slideshare is blocked on Eastcoast wifi (it's a menace!). I'll take a look at your presentation tomorrow. I like the fact that you've already selected a number of filmes to consider (the majority slightly left-field and quite a few from the early stages of their respective directors' careersl, which is quite an interesting connection). You may want to think a little about target audience. Another key thing to remember are points about the order (and nature) of the credits; when you are planning out your sequence you should build these in from the outset - it should not be a last-minute thing (this often happens). In particular, you might want to consider how you are going to create ideas of foreshadowing and symbolism, since these can be quite significant, particularly withn the kind of work you are looking at. Once you've selected your focus (I think genre is less important with regard to what you are considering, since I would suspect it will cross several genres), you should think about how the kind of auteur director represented by Burton, Boyle etc. uses the title sequence as a kind of manifesto for their style/ direction.
