TITLES

When it comes to filming a movie, you have to make sure that you include a title sequence, this is where films or television programs present the title, key production and cast members.
The first title which gets introduce is the production company, the main production companies come from the US but we also get production companies from the UK also.

Here are some examples of the US and UK Production Companies:

US

  • Dreamworks
Founded in October 12 1994  










  • Paramount 
Founded in May 8 1912







  • Lions Gate
Founded in July 3 1997










  • Metro Goldwyn Mayer
Founded in April 17 1924











  • Columbia 
Founded in January 10 1924







UK

  • Working Title
Founded in 1983









  • Warp
Founded by Rob Mitchell














  • Revolution















When it comes to the filming sequence you have to make sure that they are put in the right order when introducing the productions, cast etc. these all come before the opening sequence. 
The order goes:
  1. Production Company Presents
  2. A Film By - (Director)
  3. Starring (2 Main Characters)
  4. Title of Film
  5. Other Co- Stars
  6. Costumes, Music, Production, Design, Editing and Cinematography 
  7. Producer
  8. Director
  9. Title of Film
These are proven in the Thriller films Seven, Panic Room, Dexter

Seven:


As you can see in the movie Seven, it first starts by presenting the production, then it goes onto saying who the film was by, introduction of the actors. Then we get the title of the film, the other co stars, the person in charge of music, costumes and editing. Then we see the person who was in charge of directing the movie. The movie then begins.

Panic Room: 



When it comes to the movie Panic Room, it first starts off with presenting the production of the company, then it goes onto introducing the main characters of the movie, then it introduces the title of the movie. It goes onto the Co- Stars of the movie, introducing the people in charge of casting, costumes, music and the ilm editors, production designers. Then it begins to introduce the directors of the movie and producers and who it was written by and lastly who it was directed by again.

Dexter: 


When it comes to the TV program Dexter it begins with presenting the production company, then it shows the title of the movie. Then it introduces the main characters of the movie. Then it introduces the producers of the program the movie then begins. This is different to the movies above because its a TV program.

So when it comes to the title of the film, you can chose which font type you want to use, so for example for a thriller you can use:


to make it seem like a scary thriller.
You can also focus on the colour of the font and the size.
