A title sequence I saw recently which I like was the title sequence to a TV show called 'Peaky Blinders'. This title sequence saves time in the show by following the characters round the setting in the opening scene. Each title is different as they are in a new setting to continue with the story and not waste 1-2 minutes of the show by having the same title sequence play in the beginning. The genre of the show is completely different to our sci-fi opening but I think we could incorporate a similar title sequence into our opening as I believe that the title sequence in Peaky Blinders has worked well at intriguing the audience with their sequence.
The title sequence starts out with a man on a horse going down an old dirt road while the locals begin the leave their houses.
The location of the setting appears on the screen in an old english font written in white to contrast with the background as the music begins to play and continues to play as the man on the horse carries on travelling.
We hear diegetic noises like like the horse galloping, the locals talking and miners working. The use lots of longs shots to this is a good way to establish the setting they are in which is Birmingham, England 1919, post WW1.
Once the man on the horse has reached his destination the screen fades to black and the title appears on screen.
