We
have been looking at film opening titles in lessons as a class. We are looking
at these because we need to use them in our final product for our own film that
we are going to be producing for our AS Media course. We are using this
research to help us as we are going to need to create our own opening titles
for our own film.
As
part of our out of hours learning we had to look at 3 different openings to 3
different films and then create a list of the titles and idents that appear in
order. We then put them altogether as a class to compare them as to which ones
appeared where. Below i am going to add a picture of the class's research.
The three films that I researched were Back to the future, Twilight Saga: Breaking dawn part 2 and Grease. I posted my research on my previous post.
Title Sequences and Opening Credits sometimes get confused and mixed up by people. Below I will explain the difference between the two.
Opening Credits - In a motion picture the opening credits are shown at the very beginning and list the most important members of the production. They are sometimes shown as text superimposed onto a blank screen or sometimes they are shown on top of action in the show. There may or may not be music accompanying it.

Title Sequence - This is the method by which films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members. Using visual and sound aspects. It typically includes the text of the opening credits and helps establish the setting and the tone of the program. For more information on Title Sequences Click here
For my next post I will be researching and talking about film title conventions.
