MAIN Post 3: Research into Opening Sequence Designs

Watching the Kyle Cooper interview  was very interesting and it showed us how important the opening titles are. It also showed us that there is an industry itself. However his title sequences for Superman and Seven utilised a lot of CGI (Computer Graphic Images) and we don't want to do this, and don't have the software to do this either.

This interview led us to look at other opening sequences such as Snatch by Guy Richie, we really liked the style of film. We also learnt that we can be adventurous in our opening sequence, although some of our research into short films showed us that we can keep the opening titles simple. Editing is also involved in all opening sequences as they put everything together, our group has limited access to software that includes great editing techniques that look professional and makes the sequences look a lot smoother and flows better. There are many vital parts that can make a good opening sequence and graphic is a key part to a good, professional opening sequence, having a skilled editor would make a opening sequence a lot easier as they would know how to make the titles and credits more interesting.
