Title Sequence Reference

For our film, we require a short title sequence that has to entice the audience to want to watch the rest of the film; however with the film only being 6 minutes long, the title sequence can't be too long. Here is a short film we've already used but the title sequence is short and sweet.



I like the title sequence as it is short and to the point. It begins with an opening introduction to the company who made the film. This acts as an advertisement purpose. Secondly, it says this company presents the film. This acts as a welcome and in the background, the sound of a child laughing along with the music gives the effect that something is happening or going on, and makes the audience what to find out what it is. Then the title comes up in an animated effect and fades off screen with the volume of the laughter and music increasing, creating tention in the audience who want to know what's happening. Lastly, all these combined create a very professional finish to the sequence.

As the first scene appears, it is music playing over what appears to be a flashback. The limitation of sound implies this; as if it's not really happening. As this scene continues, the first credits appear on the screen; the director, who it's starring and the editor. The use of flash-backs at the beginning with the title sequence also makes the audience want to continue watching to find out what's happened. This is the use of the .... theory where the film begins with a memory so the audience has limited knowledge without watching too much of the main film.
