Title Sequence Research

I needed some inspiration for my title sequence as I have approximately 10 seconds to fill.


This is one of my favourite title sequences. I love the range of close up shots which are quite ambiguous but still relate to the theme of the film. I like how the title 'Seven' flashes up much larger than the casts' names. The dark opening fits very well with the twisted thriller genre.
"The typography itself — which would likely break several guild legibility rules in modern times — was hand-etched into black-surface scratchboard and manipulated during the film transfer process to further smear and jitter it. This transfer was then cut up and reassembled during post production to add a final layer of temporal distress."
I could experiment with hand writing my titles to give it a personal touch.

This is another really iconic title sequence which was inspired by Saul Bass, who we studied briefly in Digital Media last year. I'm inspired by the use of silhouettes. I like that the title itself connects with the rest of the animation. I would like to use kinetic typography for my title.

I like how the drawing style has a mixture of techniques - gradient colours, black and white and silhouettes. I think it would be cool to introduce some settings in my title sequence in a similar way to this.
