Describing the text used for the titles:

The tex in the title sequence is yellow in some parts and it has still images. These still images give an idea of what the film will include, basically giving a short film within a film. Also some of the tex is white and on a blank screen. This might be to show the important name or companies that produced the film or the director. 

Where is the text in the title sequence:

The text is usually at the bottom of the screen this could be as there are images at the back having the text in the middle would be too much and your focus would either be on the text or image. Also its at the bottom to give the audience enough time to interpret or take in the image behind the text and then read the text after. Main actors/actresses names are usually on the screen with picture or moving animation of the character. Finally some texts/titles are in the middle of the screen due to the fact it shows the importance or the actual title name of the film.

What I liked about the title sequence:

Well it was filmed near my house which meant I could be aware of the issues that come up in the film also I could relate with them. Also the still images had a lot going on in it and made you want to carry on watching the film. Also it was very simple with the colours of text and the style which made it understandable.

This is the timeline for my Brother the Devil a film that has a particular audience for elder teens. As it involves teen issues for example joining gangs, taking drugs and family problems.

Man Of Steel

In the first 10 seconds of the title sequence, we see an introduction of the production company, the distribution company and also the head people in charge.

At the beginning of this sequence, the credits are in sync with the background, which moves in a fast motion. This happens when the shooting star passes across the screen , where the credits flicked up soon after. It connotes a sense of a journey in a space craft overlooking the surrealism of the exciting sighting.

The tone is set by the slowness of the background music, it is very heroic and euphoric, it conveys a sense of a journey but also a sense of surreality and therefore the genre is portrayed as non-fiction. A positive outlook of life is set by the narrator

Soon After, a point of view shot was used in a section of the credits to make it more personal to the audience because its in the hands of someone. Another thing that is indicated by this shot is that it is a YouTube hit that has captivated the world and become a worldwide phenomenon. It also makes the viewer feel part of the film because many others have experienced it and have been intrigued because of the relevance to what has happened in reality in the world.

What is the purpose of a film opening?

The purpose of an opening sequence is for it to establish the mood and visual character of a film. It is also used to introduce the viewer to all or some of the following elements, which are; Characters, locations, Narrative, Plot, Themes and Visual style.

The opening sequence is a personal thing but when a film grabs your attention from the opening frame it knocks you out of your seat or even grinds you into it, you tend to remember it fondly, even if the rest of it fails to measure up. It has to be said that this is something modern American movies tend to do very well; in general, most blockbuster Hollywood films result in a loud and witless bang. By watching the opening scene, the TV audience has a taste of things to come for the short attention span generation, reassurance that the upcoming ten minutes of talk and character introduction will eventually be replaced by more of the visual shouting of the first scene.

What font type is used for the titles (if you don't know, describe what it looks like)?

 all of the work has been done digitally. The font used is quite stern and straight. 

This means that the title font was created by them from scratch and isn't a popular or known font type, such as Arial and so on. 

How we see the font - where do we see it in the frame (at the top, bottom, moving etc...)?

The font is seen all over the frame which means there is no particular reason, possibly just so it doesn't distract you from anything else.

What happens behind the font - what do we see, who are we introduced to, what sound do we hear?

In the beginning, we see a dark, faded background which originally set the mood and atmosphere for the rest of the film. we see three characters in a medical centre/asylum, we are not aware of who the characters are or what is going on. soon after we see the main credits come in and a background of the characters going about their daily lives. we begin to see what the film is actually about.

What do you like about this sequence, why did you pick it?

I picked this sequence because it looked extremely interesting and that genre of film interests me the most.I  found that I liked how unique it was, with the digitalised fonts and animation

In high school and youth dramas, there are a minor difference in title sequences.

Target audiences research

What is a audience?

A group of spectators or listeners that have come together at a public event.

How do we define target audience?

A particular group of people that are being aimed at by a specific product or service.

It is useful for films to have a target audience for many reasons for example it tells you what kind of people are more likely to watch the movie, it could help with the pre-production of the film and gives the ability to relate and engage with the film opening.

You can understand your target audience through:

• Age
• Gender
• Class
• Ethnic group
• Interests
• Uses&Gratifications 
• Common interests 

Teen dramas 

• The primary audience for teen dramas 13-19 years old.
• Their secondary audience could be for people at the age 20-30 possibly higher this is as the product or in this case film is not directly directed at this age group but maybe a family member or friend gave them a interest to watch the film or see the perspective of what teens go through rather than what the elderly assume. Teen dramas are for both boys and girls to show teenage issues for example cyber bullying, peer pressure, issues with friends or family members, teenage pregnancy, drug dealing and drug intake, relationships, social awareness and much more. Teen dramas sometimes teach positive morals and show how teenage issues as listed above can be overcome and gives teens something to talk about as they are all able to relate. 

Research - Art of the title 4

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

 In this clip the title is the only writing I see. There is a unknown hand holding a lighter which lights up the room. The font is red but as the match stick goes the font turns blue. I think this is to symbolize an important part in the movie, where the match stick plays an important part, ridiculously. This then allows us to see the words Are you afraid? I think this is a good way to open a movie up as it looks quiet interesting and spooky which would get the viewers attention. As this happens I can hear the flame burning. This is also a good use of sound as the sound allows me to have a feel of the heat, due to the fact that I can hear the match burning.

I like this sequence because I thought it looked interesting as I am into horror things.

Too Many Cooks 

However in this clip, they do introduce the characters which I think is good. Reason is because as the viewer I would love to know which actors were in a movie I was watching just in case my favorite actor was acting. It is also helpful in case you wanted to do research on a specific character, you could know their real names to conduct your research. The thing that I disliked most about this clip was that they names every single character in the movie. This could get quiet boring for the viewer as they may want the movie to just start. The font is in yellow which is quiet immature giving the movie a comedic look already which is good if its a comedy. There are also plenty of bright colors which is also childlike and comedic. The sound in the clip is very unusual and humorous as they use special sound effects to create different noises which give the viewer the impression that it is going to be a comedy.

What a title sequence is

A title sequence is an essential part of a film as it sets the mood and atmosphere for the rest of the film. The title sequence gives the audience knowledge of the main protagonists and the names of the people who have important roles in the production of the film. A title sequence is important in the way it is set out as it is mainly the part that invites the audience into the film and if the audience doesn't receive a type of feeling towards the title sequence it may have an effect on the rest of the film
