Title Sequence

In order to design the right title sequence we have to analyse other exsisting and successful title sequnces. It goes without saying there are many Thriller films for the puplic, however there are select number that impact the audience in the way intended and set a specfic mood and atmosphere that the director is trying to achieve.

Bellow I have hand picked thriller title sequences that are the most appropriate for our thriller film. I also compare the differences between a TV series thirller and a film thriller.

The screen shots above are from the critically acclaimed and widly recognised TV thrillers, Luther and True Detective. One key difference between the two series is the culture. Luther is a British TV thriller and True Detective is an American series. Through knowledge of other British TV. we can see a pattern in the way the intro is presented. For example the soundtrack in Luther is noticably similar to 'Sherlock' another BBC thriller, this due to the origin (british) the transitions leading up to the title sequence also show similarities, Luther displays a lot of linear lines separating image and text, also displayed in Sherlock.
