Title Sequences.

Title Sequences.

Title sequences could be seen as one of the most important aspects within the making of a film. This is because it gives credit to the makers/main stars and also as it lets you know who produced the film and who it is in association with etc.. If the title sequences is not used well and it very boring, this is not going to give a good impression across to the audience. However, if this is performed well, it will keep the audiences attention and drift them slowly into the world of the film.

Almost all title sequences are set out in the same way:
  1. Who the film is presented to you by e.g. Universal.
  2. Who the film is in association with e.g. Lovefilm.
  3. Who the film is by e.g. 'A film by Gee Studios'.
  4. Main actors (usually a male actor first).
  5. Casting
  6. Music/costume.
  7. Visual effects/editing.
  8. Other producers/directors of photography etc.
  9. Whom the film is produced by.
  10. Based on ... (some films n/a).
  11. Written by ...
  12. and finally, always the main title, the director.

An example of this sequence is shown via Fast and Furious 6 ...
