Previous AS Media title sequences

This is a thriller opening title sequence. I have chosen it because there genre of my title sequence is also thriller, so it could give me an idea of the kind of things i could have in mine.

What they have done well

I like the way the opening credits were shown at the beginning and how the name of the college emerged into the production name. I thought was a creative way to do it. Another thing that went well was the sound track used, because it suits the thriller genre and lets the audience feel like something is about to happen. I also like the non-diegetic sound of the camera shots, it creates a mystery to the audience as to who is taking those pictures. In addition the diegetic sound of the character's heavy breathing sets the mood of the thriller by showing the fear that the character is experiencing. I thought that the match on action was done very well and blended smoothly.

What could have been improved

I think the font used for the title could have been improved because it didn't really show the mood if the film, it was just plain. In addition the face of the villain was shown so the mystery of who killed the victim is gone.

What can i try to do to be successful  

To be successful i would use a good soundtrack which shows my thriller genre and i would use low key lighting to create tension and mystery. I would also show my opening credits in a creative way.

What i would avoid

I would avoid showing the face of the villain  so that the audience is left in suspense. I would also avoid using font that doesn't show the thriller genre.






The genre for this title sequence is Action. I chose it because i think it is a difficult genre to do and i would like to see the way they showed it.

What they have done well

I like the high key lighting used it shows the intensity of the film. I also like the way the production name was shown it had a unique way to it.

What could have been improved 

I think the camera work could have been improved, it looked like the camera was hand held. The editing could also have been improved, the shots just kept cutting which didn't show continuity. We could also hear background sounds in the scene, which didn't let the sequence look very professional. There wasn't a variety of editing techniques and camera shots used.

What can i try to do to be successful

I could try and use a range of camera angles and editing techniques.

What i would avoid

I would avoid including background noises in the title sequence and not making the narrative too obvious.





The Genre for this opening title sequence is a romantic comedy. I chose it because it was different from the ones i have seen.

What they have done well

I like the fact that an animation was used instead of characters, it makes it different from the rest. I also like the idea of incorporating the ring into the title, it really shows the romantic genre. The font used also suits the genre and target audience. The colours a in addition connote happiness and love. I thought that the sound track also emphasized the Rom-com genre.

What they could have improved

The length of the title sequence was too short, it didn't give the audience time to absorb what the film might be about. Also no production name was included so it didn't give it that professional aspect.

What can i try to do to be successful

To include a production name and who did certain roles in the sequence, i.e. camera man etc. Also include aspects that would appeal to my target audience.

What i would avoid

I would avoid making my opening title sequence too short because it doesn't give the audience a chance to learn what the film could be about.
