Titles

Following on from creating my idea for a thriller, I chose two other thrillers which were similar to the story of mine. I then watched the title sequences of these thrillers and wrote down the order of what the titles came in.
Here is the work I did on Cape Fear and The Negotiator:

The Negotiator:

I thought The Negotiator had a really effective titles sequence, I felt it was relivant to the story line of the film and it was entertaining. The use of music was very powerful, it was quite a tragic song which was really good, then there were the occasional sound effects when some photos came it, it was a kind of lighting swiping sound, this worked really well. The editing was also very effective in this clip, I really liked the use of black and white as it made the clip more mysterious , there are also images dissolving into each other.

00:18 - Director
00:25 - Leading Actors
