Pitch task 2 : What type of title sequence is it? - Jana

As a group we have planned that our title sequence will be discrete. It will be very mysterious and not clear what's really happening. The reason we have chosen to do this is because a title sequence which is discrete can be more detailed than one that has narration and a straightforward message.

One title sequence that has influenced our own title sequence is the Thriller Seven. The reasons why we were so heavily influenced by the title sequence of Seven is because it is similar to our original idea. The key moments that we saw as most influential were 0:55 - 1:00, 1:19 - 1:23, 1:35 - 1:40, 2:17 - 2:20. In all of these times suspense is created as it is not clear what the images mean. For example between 0:55 - 1:00 a somewhat crippled hand appears and raises the questions of 'Why is this hand relevant?', 'What connection does this have with the movie, if anything at all?' etc. The fact that we see blood dripping and a picture of a face at 1:35 - 1:40 creates confusion via discretion as the audience doesn't exactly know what's going on.



The second title sequence to influence our discrete title sequence is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. The first piece to influence us is between 0:58 - 1:03. This because many things happen back to back and then ends with a face showing. This face is mysterious and looks like it may be a mask or a normal face with ink all over it.  The main part is between 1:13 - 1:48. This consists of many different things such as a man/giant drowning at 1:18, an up-close image of an eye watering at 1:33 and a face getting punched at 1:37. All these things seem random and yet somehow relate to the movie. And in theory that's how we want our title sequence to be.




Our overall idea would be to adapt these title sequences. In Seven, the storyline isn't 100% adapted or clear which is why we will aim to make our title sequence similar to this. However, we will avoid making our title sequence as confusing as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, we don't want too much going on to the point where the audience doesn't understand what is happening.
