I chose to analyse Catfish: The Movie's title sequence as it uses a similar style that we want for our title sequence, by using online/facebook within the title sequence.
Catfish: The Movie
The title sequence begins with the production companys' titles on the screen, however they have been edited so they are more pixel and look like they belong on a computer; which would suggest to the audience that the film is about the internet and what happens on the internet.
The sequence is slowly paced through camera work, editing and sound which could show that the film is a documentary, and also that the film is shot over a long period of time. Unlike the way this is filmed, I want our title sequence to seem quite fast paced (not only to fit it into 2 minutes, but also) to emphasise that the protagonists have fun together and spend most of their time together.
The use of extreme close ups doesn't tell you much about the people in the film and what it is about but hints privacy. The iconic symbol of a silhouette of a man suggests anonumity and hiding. The camera movement is clean but slow paced, again suggestive of the documentary style of filming. The font in the titles is simple and easy to read as it is a san serif font. The white font contrasts with the 'dirty white' of the computer screen which makes it easy to read instead of white on white being hard to read. Similarly I would like something like this for our titles font, maybe instead of white, use a red on specific words and maybe two different fonts to suggest the horror genre.
The camera pans down from the blue/white contrast. The blue reminds me of social medias, I think this is more of the stereotypical facebook blue colour. The font is easy to read and stands out (because of the contrast of negative and positive space), for our film I think this font would be too simplistic for the title.
