Group Discoveries of Title Timelines or the genre

As a group we have learnt that…

·         There are more sub-roles than we have initially thought.

 

·         Placement of the names are important, if done incorrectly they can distracting.

 

·         Transitions between names are important to keep the audience’s attention.

 

·         Order of the titles are critical for example the director is normally at the end of the title sequence.

 

·         Each title is only shown around for 4-5 seconds. Exceptions to this may include title of film or important crew/cast members.

 

·         Normally the title will only be shown up to 45 seconds into the film.

 

·         Font size may change depending on what is the title is (e.g. title of film or important cast/crew members).

 

·         Song artists may also be mentioned in the titles (Quantum of Solace and Back to the Future).

 

·         Actors that play main characters will be mentioned first.
