My Film Pitch



This is my own film idea called 'Film Makers'. I pitched it to my group but we decided against it and went with Troubled Diversity.


Art of the Title

1. What is the definition of a title sequence?
 A title sequence is the method by which cinematic films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members, or both, utilizing conceptual visuals and sound.

2. What is the function of a title sequence?
 The function of a title sequence is to introduce the film and the people who star and made the film to the audience.

3. Name three films featured in the A Brief History of the Art of the Title Sequence?
 Saturday Night Fever, Pink Panther and Iron Man.

4.

The text is pink, relating to the main character. It is all different sizes, to show the light-heartedness of the film. The P in Pink is bigger and the i has a star above it. This could be to emphasis the fact the panther is pink which is quite abnormal. I think the feeling from these titles is supposed to show it's definitely an animation, and that the film isn't too serious. The image of a panther shows the main character straight away, so we know what the film is about. We know that the film is quite old due to the quality, and also we know from that screenshot it is an animation. 


 This is the title for the film 'The Social Network'. Straight away we notice the white text inside the blue box, which looks like the 'facebook' logo. Therefore, we know what the film will be about and the title confirms that. The backdrop is of cars which is significant because there is lots of them, like a social gathering. The white text on the logo could represent innocence, which is what facebook was designed to be, lighthearted and fun. Also, the text is all in lower case, which could show it being not very formal, which social networking is. 

Homeland Titles



This is Sean Callery talking about the music which made up the opening titles. I thought that Homeland would be a good title to take inspiration from in our own production. The scene is inside the main characters unconscious mind, whilst she is trying to prevent a major terror attack on the US. The titles are in a white font on a background with different pictures and video clip; I think this is significant because it could reflect the innocence of a country with all these terrible things going on in the background. I think the quick transitions between slides show the chaos in America in hard times, and the pictures of a young Carrie (main protagonist) show her innocence and normality also. The maze is very cliché but signifies the 'cat and mouse chase' between Carrie and Brody (second main protagonist). I would like to replicate something like this in our final production because it creates an air of mystery around the story, with lots of jumping from scene to scene.
