We looked at title sequences for the entrance of television programmes and movies. We were asked to look at 6 specific title sequences and analyse them. They were:
- Vertigo
- Catch me if you can
- Seven
- Fight Club
- Sherlock Holmes
- Casino Royale
- Images
- Styles (colours)
- Visual effects
- Font
- Animation of titles
- Editing.
I used a website called www.artofthetitle.com to watch the title sequences.
Vertigo - http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/vertigo/
Images: Lips show anger and sadness as it is a frown, Eyes look evil
Style (Colours): Red light implies danger. It sets the scene to show it is a thriller film and also tells us that there will be some kind of crisis and drama. Louder music is also used to portray this.

Visual effects: Pink illusion shows confusion. Many different colour shapes represent all of the different confusions and events within the film. It goes back to the red eye at the end to remind the viewer of what the danger is, and shows that the person's eye is seeing things differently to others.
Catch me if you can - http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/catch-me-if-you-can/
Images: Shows different types of transport; Plane, taxi, walking.
Style (Colours): Different colour backgrounds to show the different scenes.
Visuals: He changes his identity which sets the scene which is running away from someone. You can guess what it is about by looking at and reading into the name of the movie. It shows suspicion through the way he is acting and walking. Man is running away from the spy as if he has done something that he is guilty for. there are stars at the end to show that he is free. Cartoon images are used.
Font: Dripping effect that is everlasting shows that he will run forever if he has to. Different coloured fonts are used in each scene. Black, Red, Green, Pink, White...
Animation of Titles: The computer keyboards, the lift in the hospital and the swimming pool ladder all use the dripping title effect. the dripping effect is the black line that drips to the edge of the page.The titles are all written like a map or roads.
Editing: Clicking or swish sound to change the setting or scene. The rope title goes down to the other scene. Hooks are also used to move to another scene.
Seven -http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/se7en/
Images: Dirty fingernails
Style (Colours): Red light shows danger
Visuals: Creepy hand shows the thriller of the film and represents a character
Font: White on black to show that it is plain and basic
Animation of Titles: Flickering of titles makes it look scary. It reminds me of a haunted house when the lights flicker on and off. Shows that it is a thriller film.
Editing: Title scene is used between each image. Black smudges are used.
