Edward Sissorhands Title Sequence
9 Frame Grid -
This title sequence is 1 minute 45 seconds long, using dark colours to create a sense of horror and mystery. I think that the genre is a mixture of horror and fantasy, as the way it is presented connotes fear but also quite childish thoughts (With the cookies in the bottom left of the picture). The titles lasted for an average of 3 seconds, with some exceptions. The time between each title (from when the first one disappears to when the seconds one appears) was about 2 seconds.
I made a time line for this title sequence, showing what titles appeared, in which order and for how long. As it says in the picture below, (T) stands for title and (TR) stands for transition.
Title Sequence Timeline:
I made this timeline by watching the title sequence and recording down all of the information at the times that they appeared. This acitivity helped to show what is included in a title sequence and how they can appear. How the text appears, for how long and the font contribute to the genre and theme of the film.
Opening Title Sequence - 9 Frames
Unfortunatly. Blogger will not let me increase the size of the picture and so the titles are not incredibly clear.
This is a makeshift title sequence for a horror film. Of course, this is just a quick test one to learn about what kind of images would be included, and also the kinds of titles that would be used. E.g. Executive producer, costume designer....
I took pictures from google images and edited them together using 'paint' to get an idea of what the movie opening would look like.
The font is used to make the opening seem more horror orientated, rather than just using a normal everyday font.
