Once I had looked at different title sequences I decided to look at one of them more closely. By doing so I was able to see what made them give a positive impression and how they could have been improved. This would help me to then make decisions on how I wanted my film title to look. This could also help when sequencing it together and choosing what order to put it in.
I decided to look at the title sequence of the film "Buried" into more detail than previously as I felt like this was the most relevant to my own movie. I looked at the style fonts, colour, images and sounds in order to see how they fitted the genre and made an impression on the viewers in order to make it look and be successful.
The title sequence opens with a black background which is appropriate as it could symbolise the darkness of being buried underground. The writing of the production slowly comes in revealing the writing gradually. By doing this I think it represents the genre well as it is slowly revealing information like a crime movie would. When the font comes on it is bold and easy to read. It's orange and white which contrast well with the black. By doing this it suits more audiences as it helps people who have visual impairments. This would help the movie have higher success rates as more people will be able to watch it if they cater for their needs. There is also a four second pause which enables people to read the details. This is a good idea as some people may not be that good at reading. The writing then exits the screen at the top and letters disappear at different times. 
After this more information comes on and it works it's way up the screen. There is still a consistent colour theme which is a good thing to have as it will be recognisable and it will make it look more professional also. Once it has almost reached the top of the screen the text fades out which allows us as viewers plenty of time to read it but gives the producers chance to use technical editing to improve the appearance of the title sequence.
Once the title sequence has reached the twenty second mark their are images which are started to be used. The colour of the images are similar to the orange text. This helps to colour coordinate which makes it look more sophisticated and well thought out. The images are strands of colour one being textured with a stone imprint to symbolise the title "Buried".
After the strands begin to increase in number they fall down the screen and they make up the movie title. This also has the stone imprint on it and it emphasises the storyline. This would be good if they were previewing this whilst watching another movie at the cinema as they are getting a glimpse of what the film is about. It is also a good reminder for people who are not at the cinema as they can have a reminder of what the film is about and it also may help them to understand the concept of the movie more. The dark black background has now got an added texture in to make it look like soil. By using small things such as font and background colour you can represent the movie well. I think I may use something like this as it is easy to do and it doesn't require any specialists. Also it won't take a long time which will be good as we can then focus on bigger tasks which may be harder to complete. 
All the fonts after this are also of a consistent font but the colours have slightly changed. There is still the white element on the title sequence but there is also a new colour of blue. They use the blue letters as the capital letter which is first. By choosing this colour they could be contrasting the ground and the sky. By doing so they are yet again symbolising the title "Buried" as it shows the ground first as this is what the film is based around and they afterwards it shows blue which is what is above them. Afterwards they link the blue writing towards the textured stone background. By doing this it is linking the two elements together. This symbolises the earth meeting the ground and showing it is closer than they imagine. This carries on until the end of the title sequence. However, the colour interchanges from the blue and to the yellow and orange colours. This could help reflect the movie as it shows the struggles of getting from the ground to above it.
Overall, I believe that this is a good title sequence example as it represents the film well. It does this by showing that images and colours which may reflect the film and what the storyline is. It also uses colour themes which show hidden messages of certain aspects of the film. This has made me want to show some parts of my movie in order to persuade and keep my audiences entertained. This will help to make my movie become more successful as the title sequence will be informative and entertaining to persuade my audience to watch my movie.
