Task 8 - Conclusions on titles used in titles sequences

Task 8

Titles used in titles sequences vary from film to film, there are 4 main types of title sequences which are known as the following

- Titles on a blank screen

- Titles over moving images

- Titles on a still image

- Titles using animation or motion

By watching and analyzing a few different title sequences I have come to the conclusion that the genre of the film is what inspires the titles used. For example action films will almost always have titles over moving images, here is an example below.

On the other hand I found horror films to have moving images in their title sequences but to instead cut to titles on a blank screen when the titles are appearing, this is most probably done to keep the mood of a horror film, an example of this is below.



I also found that title sequences commonly start with the name of the actors and then go onto others such as who the music is by, the designers and producers ect. Text used on the credits are almost always all capital, this is done to make the writing clear and easy to be read.
