Art of the Title Class Activity

Today in class we analyzed some title sequences from artofthetitle.com. The one I thought was really well done was the title sequence I have reviewed before. The Panic Room stood out to me when I was doing research about it before for another blog post. I thought credits being interlaced with the scenes of the New York skyscrapers was unique. The credits were integrated onto the sides of buildings. Some of the credits were made to look like billboards which makes it stand out because the New York landscape, there are many different billboard and to make a credit as a billboard as more of a layer to the New York landscape.

The comments provided on the website was that The font of the credits in the beginning were big and bright which contrasted the darker buildings. The white of the font contrasted the darker shades of the skyscrapers. The shadows and reflections of the credits made it seem more realistic that the credits belonged on those buildings and not just simply taking up space. The large lettering makes it easy for the audience to see as well. It is very large which makes it ominous. Also, the Face your Fears is indirectly in the credits to makes the audience more curious on what is going to happen. The website also states that the large and perfect lettering in the middle of the dark and looming city shows that they are exuding power, money, and are unattainable.

Some aspects that I might use is having the same font for all of my credits. Also, I will take inspiration by interlacing or be better at making the credits look like they belong in the film that I am creating. One more idea, is having the transition of the credits being on screen be smoother than they are originally.
