Looking At Different Title Sequences

The first title sequence that I looked at on my own was Juno's title sequence. The reason why I looked at this title sequence first is because I would prefer to do an animated title sequence as I think it will be easier to put together as i won't need to rely on actors at all. Another reason why I was drawn to an animated title sequence is because I really enjoyed watching Sweeney Todd's opening as I think that visually it was just as interesting as the opening to Trainspotting.

The second opening sequence that I looked at was the sequence from Up In The Air as it is a Title Sequence therefore we don't see any actors. The reason why I decided to look at this is because I want to have a second plan just in case the animation doesn't work or I just decide that it would look better as a title sequence. The things I like about this title sequence is the fact that it's so simple, and looks very classy which fits with the rest of the film as I've watched it. Also the simple movement of the text across the screen looks very effective and makes it interesting to watch.

The third opening sequence that I looked at was the sequence from Forrest Gump. The reason why I decided to look at this is because It's one of my favorite films and I remember that the opening sequence was very simple and for a majority of it the camera was just filming a feather falling through the sky which I thought looked really nice along with the music played in the background. If I was to do something similar to this then I'd have to choose a really unique location as I really want to stick to having no actors/people in my opening sequence, unless I really have to then I'll consider using one person but I'd rather just have a title sequence with some sort of animation.

The fourth opening sequence that I looked at was the sequence from Catch Me If You Can, which is another one of my favourite films. I had no reason for searching for this, I was just interested in what the opening sequence would look like, and to my surprise it was an animation. I'd say that this was my favourite so far as its very clean-cut looking and I have some ideas of what I'd like to do with it.
