Hunger games Catching Fire uses titles over moving images. It helps to set the tone but does not completely give away what the film is about. Therefore it is a discrete title sequence.

I like the title sequence because it uses a variety of special effects and sets the tone of the film by creating emphasis on images during the title sequence. Also it does not give away what is included in the film so it creates curiosity.

Research - What is a title sequence?

A title sequence I believe consists of the credits which introduces the cast of the particular film/programme, the director, producer, editors and the rest of the cast. Also I believe it can give the audience a insight of what the film/programme will consist of by using the theme song, characters, special effects or images behind the font.

Research - 2 Title sequences

Simpsons, Season26, Episode 1

 

1.Credits;

• Created by Matt Groening
• Developed by James L. Brooks
• Matt Groening
• Sam Simen

 

2. I am not aware of what the font is called which was used for the Simpsons clip. However the font seems unusual in the sense that it seems robotic or futuristic.

 

3. The font is displayed in the middle of the screen but does not move.

 

4. Behind the font is just a blue background accompanied by a television screen. We can hear the sounds of the Simpson theme song.

 

5. I like this sequence because it is unusual but intriguing and also it creates a sense of amusement. Different time periods are shown which is creative and therefore interesting to watch.

 

6. A critic stated that the title clip was interesting and used humour to engage the audience.

2. For the game of thrones of clip I am also unaware of what the font type that is used is called. However the font could be similar to 'Times' but in caps lock continuously.

3. The font is placed in different places throughout the clip. This includes to the left or to the right of the screen.

4. We see a variety of images behind the font such as greenery and special effects of rings. Also the theme song is playing behind the font.

5. I like the scene because there is a variety of special effects used to introduce Game of Thrones and gives us a insight into what the programme is about.

Title sequence P1 (4)

AUNTIE MAME (1958)

Title Designer- Wayne Fitzegerald

Production Studio- Pacific Title and Art Studio

Style- 1950s, animation, animation stand, classic, live action, main title, mixed-media, optical stop motion and typography 

In the 40s, titles were very simple and they were very short, because there may have been only ten or fifteen people getting credit. But by the '50s, they were beginning to get up to 24 and 25 and most things, of course, were terrible boring and the audience went and get their popcorn while the credit were on.
30 people who worked at Pacific Title, half of them were title artists, since everything was handwritten.
Jack Warner wanted title to be big. Jack Warner said ' i'm paying those actors all that money, i want to see their names up there big'. This looked awful on the screen.
Credits were in pink except the actual title 'Auntie Mame'. I like how the sequence is eye catching and not very long.

4. Research: Analysis on Skyfall Title sequence

Analysis on Skyfall Title Sequence 

Many people that have watched the movie skyfall have commented on the opening sequence of it. This is type of opening sequence is a title sequence that uses animation or motion and so this is categorized into a stylized type of sequence. The purpose of this sequence type is to quickly catch the attention of the audience right before the movie itself has actually started. Sequences like this are more than just stating the movie studio and crew of the movie its also to set the mood of the movie and this also makes it more  interesting for the viewers, it builds anticipation. A lot of motion moving sequences are like story lines within themselves and this can be seen in sky fall.

This type of sequence requires a lot of digital technology and this is seen in the special effects used in skyfall. These special effects are used to pull us the audience into the movie even before its started. This can been used when the female is holding the gun and the camera films through the gun to the other side its as if us the audience are travelling through the gun this makes it very interesting and withdrawing, it makes us feel part of the sequence itself and gains are attention before the movie has actually started.

illustrating the transitions us the audience  go through

to get an insight into the gun 

with the digital technology used 

to catch the audiences attention
whilst still showing the credits 

Another thing you notice bout this title sequence is that it clearly shows you what genre of movie it is just from the images used. From it you can predict that it will be a action film.
