Title Sequences

Lately I can't stop thinking about Opening title sequences. I don't know why, maybe cos we're going to have to make one soon and I'm shittin myself thinking what I'm doing!! I'm just constantly looking out for it, thinking of what and how I'm gonnna do mine.

Here's a site which featured 30 inspirational title sequences.

Our story is about this delusional, obsessive man who still fantasises and goes insane over his ex girlfriend who is clearly over him. How far will he go to repossess her? What could be the consequence of his actions?

So for our story, I have some ideas about my title sequence.
There's so much that we could do, like animating a title sequence, have heavy typography etc but because the title sequence has to tie in with the movie, I thought filming the title sequence would best represent that.

I'm really inspired by the opening sequence on the movie SE7EN, how there's so much intricate detail in the cinematography, how it sets the mood for what we're about to watch, and how it's almost like a preview for what's in it but really, we don't even know what it's for. I think I've already talked about this before. =P

But my point is that I like how that could be used in our film. I could have macro shooting on things both the characters could be doing? That could be nice, wouldn't it? Lighting tea lights, writing furiously, pouring coffee. I don't know stuffs like that. But maybe sharper quicker cuts?

Another idea I have is in the woods, where the climax of the movie takes place. I could have an establishing shooting there, giving an eerie feeling of the woods and it would eventuate to almost a running scene and really intense cutting, then goes to black- straight into the beginning of the movie afterwards.

I'm really thrilled about doing the filming for this. In my head it would be just before the sunset, like the mood in the images above. I like the fog in these images, the mysterious atmosphere; the foreboding feeling. I just need to find a place where I could film this and drag a friend to tag along with me to film it!!

By the way here's the Animated Production Company Logo I've come up with. I have two finished products. I'll post them both up.

Voila!
