  2. The Dark Hours

  3. What genre of film have you made an opening title sequence for, give examples of key iconography of this genre • My opening title sequence is a crime/thriller/gangster film. • Some examples of key iconography for this genre would be  • lowkey dark lighting • eerie music  • the use of weapons • Costume

  4. What films are you comparing it to? • Goodfellas (1990) • The Godfather (1972) • Scarface (1983) • John Wick (2014)

  5. Comparison of characters • Goodfellas has one main character with a few supporting characters • The Godfather has around 4 main characters with one which is slightly more sufficient than the rest  • Scarface has one main character with 5 supporting characters • John Wick only has one main character which is very distinct • In my opening title sequence there are three main characters 

  6. Comparison of the narrative • Goodfellas life of a boy who becomes a gangster and performs a heist  • The Godfather consists of the life of a mafia family • Scarface follows the story of a drug lord • John Wick shows a man who has been hurt on the hunt for revenge • My opening title sequence consists of men disposing of a body

  7. Comparison of tone/atmosphere/intended audience response • John Wick: • Emotional  • Independent  • VengefulMy opening title sequence; • Thought out - Slow - Serious - Violent  • Goodfellas: • Old  • Shady • Hidden • Drama • The Godfather: • Aggressive • Professional  • Classic • Scarface: • Humorous • Casual • Illegal

  8. Titles – Font, Colour, animation • The font we used was to make a more intense sense. • The colour was chosen as there is a dark background to make the titles stand out. • The animation of the titles is fading in and out

  9. Order of the titles • The transition from the last of action to the title of the film. This is typical to do in crime movies. Shows the sense of what the movie is about.
