Title Sequences

A title sequence is the method by which films present their title, production and cast members using visual and sound. There will also be an input into what the film is going to be about and how it is going to be presented.

In a Horror Film a main way of it being presented is very dark. A main way of presenting this is through old photographs. This is shown in the Title Sequence of the Conjuring:

This is an extract from Art of The Title. This is shown by using the old newspaper articles and photos to introduce the film. I think that this is a good way of introducing the film.

In 1971, Carolyn and Roger Perron move their family into a dilapidated Rhode Island farm house and soon strange things start happening around it with escalating nightmarish terror. In desperation, Carolyn contacts the noted paranormal investigators, Ed and Lorraine Warren, to examine the house. What the Warrens discover is a whole area steeped in a satanic haunting that is now targeting the Perron family wherever they go. To stop this evil, the Warrens will have to call upon all their skills and spiritual strength to defeat this spectral menace at its source that threatens to destroy everyone involved.

Being a film based in 1971 the title sequence links in with the title sequence as it is black and white based and colour was only just being introduced.

Another Title sequence is from The Social Network:

I liked the way that this has been presented due to our idea being linked with Facebook. At the start I liked how the Facebook images and profile is used by the transitions. I think that this may be a good way of presenting our film idea but also linked in with the news reader broadcast.
