Main Task - Post 3 - Research into opening sequence designs

Kyle Cooper interviews
He believes that the present title sequences set the tone/scene for the film about to be watched, he says that once watching the opening sequence of a film you are fully focused on the film itself and nothing else. The opening titles also set the tone for the film, so if you are liking the look of the opening titles then you will probably like the film. He says that the opening sequence often sets expectations for the film overall.
Kyle Cooper talks about 3 main title sequences that he did, 'Darkness Falls' Se7en' and 'Spiderman 2'

Kyle talks about the first title sequence that really had an impact on him was the opening sequence for 'The dead zone'. As it was very simple typography, the music was well used and 'mysterious'
He says a title sequence is great when it can capture the main characters obsessions, like 'Scouts' treasure box.

For our film we want to take some of what he has said on board, we want it to set the tone for the film and instantly grab the audience. However we want it to be more about the build up to the potential actual film.
