Title sequences

I looked on www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2009/july/film-titles list and www.artofthetitles.com for different title sequences to find one that we could create a similar one to. There are a few title sequences I like for specific reasons which create the tone and style of the film before you even start it. The 3 title sequences I like that will fit the style of our film are:

Silent Hill: Revelation (2012):
I like this title sequence because of the images used during, as in this film it shows the audience what you could expect to see in the film and can make them feel scares for the start of the film. Also the black and white images are effective as it connotes a mysterious feeling which I think would be great in our film.


Innerspace (1987)
I liked this title sequence because it wasn't focussed on the images on screen as they were blurred but then come clear. I also liked the fact that the zoomed in crystal like image is actually ice in a whiskey glass as it is slowly revealed towards the end of the sequence. 




Signs (2002):
Employing only text, light, and shadow along with James Newton Howard’s alarming and Hermannesque main theme, the title sequence for M. Night Shyamalan’s Signs relentlessly increases the tension before anything remotely suspenseful has even happened. Though it finishes on a name now synonymous with cinematic twists, Picture Mill’s main titles have a gleefully old fashioned tone that lays the groundwork for Shyamalan’s surprisingly twist-free scary movie opus.
