Choosing the genre for my title sequence


My group and I have decided to do a thriller genre for a title sequence, this is due to us be very familiar with the codes and and conventions of this type of genre. This will then allow us to create a good title sequence, acceding our potential. 

An example of a thriller title sequence




This title sequence portrays some of the many codes and conventions used in thriller films. This includes very low key lighting, which creates a sense of uncomfortableness and gloom. This also allows the producers to show the character/s without revealing their identity, as their features can not be seen due to the dark lighting. Also, the use of very quick pace shots and editing, builds up momentum and aids to keep the audiences attention. A convention which is frequently used in thrillers is making relevance to the title in what is shown, this is shown here as the term tattoo is synonymous with ink, and ink is shown throughout the sequence.

The music can be seen as quite disturbing and unclear, this could connote that the plot of the film is not straight forwarded or contains an unusual twist, another convention used in this particular genre. Furthermore, the appearance of the characters could connote sadness and danger, due to them being presented as uncomfortable, a denotation.
