Title sequence analysis

As our film is a bit of a thriller I think our title sequence should be fast paced but stalled in bits such as adding props we will use in our film like the knife and blood and slowing the title sequence down at the beginning to see a still of the props with the title in the center of them, showing the audience from the start what's involved in the film. The props could re appear on the screen, teasing the audience to give them clues as what could happen in the film like on Dexters title sequence.

Using different frames of pictures to highlight the main objects in the film to foreshadow what's going to happen, this not only happens in Dexter but also happens in the psychological thriller Se7ven, showing a pattern in films similar to ours.

 It should be fast paced as that's what features thriller films tend to have. Though our film is also a bit mysterious and dramatic so I think it would be good to have the font of the title in a scary looking print, maybe it could surround the main character and then fly off screen to attract the audiences attention and make them question what happened, this could foreshadow the film as the audience would question the main characters actions due to his mental illness.

The title could also appear underneath the location of the film such as a mental asylum, already showing the audience where the main characters location is such as on the film shutter island.

These are a few title sequences that we would take inspiration from to create ours Title sequences. The titles of the film make the audience instantly gather an opinion of what's going to happen in the film and what genre it is which is why our sequence would have to fit to the conventions of a psychological drama film Aspects we would have to consider to do this would be the use of characters in the sequence to highlight the main people, shots of the location to show where it is, lighting to show the movie is dark and props to show the plot of the film and what type of film it is.
