Opening Sequence Titles and Credits Analysis

The Film Sherlock Holmes uses an interesting style for its titles and credits. The text is accompanied by  selected clips (some of which are related to each other, e.g. Clip of character and the credits are for its actor) which are then inked onto a page. This is relevant for Sherlock Holmes as it is a famous novel, this creates the effect that the film is making reference to the novel. The order of the credits are; Director, Screenplay composers, Producers, Editor and lastly the main actor before the title appears. After this the remaining actors are then listed, followed by the casting manager, music producers, costume designer, visual effects supervisor, film studio, production companies and lastly the director.
The titles and credits for films tend to generally follow this patter whilst some making some minor changes to the order of it to better suit their sequence. I will take this order into account when making the credits for my opening sequence and apply it so that the credits are in an order that makes sense.

Title

Due to our media room getting robbed I used the old iMacs with the programme Live Type to create the title for our groups opening sequence. The title of our opening sequence is Graves and the font that is used is an adaption of the Stencil font. I chose the title to have a white shadow in order to give it the feel of street graffiti, this is because in some graffiti stencils are used in order to mark out words. I chose to have the graffiti style even though the genre is detective as I felt that with the fight scene it gave the sequence a feel of street crime due to the actors having the stereotypical "street thug" costume.
