Art of The Title

The title of the sequence the Political Thriller opening two minutes that I am shooting and editing with my group is important for establishing what kind of film the audience should expect to see. 

A website, http://www.artofthetitle.com/?s=in+time shows the importance of title sequences for the films that they're about. 

Here is a screenshot of the site: 


There are a few different types of title sequences. 

Some go straight into the action of the film, an example of this is, The Shining. This engages the audience straight away and makes the film suspenseful straight from the word go. 


Other films have title sequences that are known as discreet title sequences: 


Old School:
Film; The Mothman Prophecies 


Animated:
Film; Casino Royale
