Title Sequence Ideas

FILM IDEAS: My first idea is a road trip/boat trip/ plane trip. The story line of the film would be that a teenager wants to live his lifetime dream in two weeks, but then gets himself into abit of trouble with people from other country's.

My second idea was a film, were apple products control peoples minds and turned everyone into zombies and there would be about 10 people left who survived one month of it and they all found each other and helped each other, but on the way they loose a few people.

I would have Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Jessica Alba playing key parts, with Morgan Freeman as the narrator. The film would be a comedy, I would probably call it NERD TRIP, I dont have a Director or Producer Yet.

The two videos are for part of my research, as they are the styles of how I want my title sequence to look like.

Storyboard Research

This is a storyboard which was used to create the first episode of heroes, where Peter Petrelli jumps of a building because he thinks he can fly. After he jumps and is slowly falling because the scene slows down, his brother comes to save him because unknown to him he can fly and comes to his safety. Each part of these pictures shows what is happening and the angle that it is filmed. As I have seen this episode, all of the boxes are correctly followed upon when they filmed this.

This is a storyboard from the PIXAR film called UP. In this sequence of the story, it is showing a scene were a little boy who seems shy comes across a confident child, she takes her hat of and gives him a badge and then she runs of and drags him along. There are 40 sketches, just for a 10 - 20 second clip. When creating films and videos it takes alot of drawings to prepare storyboard, as you have to include movement, emotions, actions and where the camera will be looking and directed towards.

Title Sequence Research

I researched two title sequence websites which were http://watchthetitles.com/ and http://artofthetitle.com/, which I found out there are alot of good title sequences, but I picked out the best titles and also the styles. None of which will look like how I will make mine. Out of the four titles that I picked, I have decided that the DAREDEVIL title sequence was the best one as it has meaning to it and it explains some of the story to the film.

This is a brilliant opening title, especially with the puzzle effect. They could have put a little bit more effort in creating the word GAME look better and add another effect to it. The other effect that I like is the old camera and flicker look. This video doesn't really have any suspense or feeling in the intro but it does have a few good effects in which I like in an opening of a film.

This is a very famous opening title, which has alot going on in it. As all or most of the James Bond films titles start after 5 minutes into the film and with the character who is playing James Bond shoots his gun pointing to the viewer, with a circle around him and then blood will pour down the screen. This title sequence has alot of colour showing and alot of playing card artwork such as spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds. I like the way in the video that patterns fly out of the gun instead of a bullet. I also like the fact that when it shows the fighting in the video, that it is animated and when, the enemy was stabbed he crumbled into red diamonds like on a deck of cards. The other good thing about this title sequence they are using gambling images, objects and changing them to look like weapons, for example a roulette was used as a target for a gun. There is alot of movement going on and alot of killing which makes it show that this is going to be an action film. It can also be fast paced in certain parts of the title sequence.

This is a very clever opening title, as Daredevil is blind they are using braille and skyscraper lights, to show names and the title of the film. They are also using a 3d environment, which they have created a city at night. I also like the tense music which is used because it gives it that action film feeling. I also like the effect that they have used on the typeface at the start, as it has give a wave effect.

The very famous Spiderman title sequence, is a brilliant way to open a film by using the characters outfit. The sequence is good because it is showing the character of the film but not the full thing. Whilst its showing I personally like the music playing as it makes a thrilling opening with the film.
