Title Sequence

Title Sequence

In order to make a good title sequence, I have analysed the opening title sequence to the recent film Skyfall. I decided to analyse Skyfall because it is quite modern and very popular so I strongly believe that I can take inspiration from it. As the title sequence begins, its not very typical. It begins with a man falling in the sky which relates back to the name of the film, this is effective as it reiterates to the viewers what they are watching. The screen then goes to black and a hand is grabbed and the first title appears of the director. It then reveals the name everyone wants to see, the famous Daniel Craig. The man that is one of the greatest and well known British actors in the world. By having him in the film, it automatically brings in his fan base which increases the people who watch the film  I noticed that his name came up before the actual name of the film 'Skyfall' and this may be because he is very well known and and takes the lead in the film. The title sequence is very still and almost surreal, it seems as though not a lot is going on which consequently causes us to focus more. It's very dark and Gothic which builds up tension. The music in the background is from Grammy award winner Adele. To have Adele singing 'skyfall' in the background also brings in her fan base which is millions so this is how the film attracts it's audience. The font of the names are rather ordinary but it is what is happening in the sequence that is really captivating.
