Film Title Sequence Project

A Brief History of Title Design from Ian Albinson on Vimeo.

Film Title Sequence Project
Think Hitchcock or David Lynch or Tim Burton when it comes to starting this project.
Think back to some of your most favorite and interesting visual treatments for a film.

The film you choose can be from an independent film company or a major film corporation. Only you will make that choice.

You must include 10-12 title credits (Director, Actors, Director of Photography, etc.) The entire length of the film title sequence can be from :30 to :60 seconds.
You must also include at least 10 seconds (minimal) of original footage from the original film…this original footage can be interwoven throughout your sequence or can possibly be used at the end of your sequence as the sequence moves into the original movie itself....like after your title sequence you go straight to the original 10 seconds of the film as a buffer.

You can create your own music or use the soundtrack from that movie or any other movie that you feel best represents your concept. You can also sweeten your audio with sound effects or visual design elements (lens flare, type explosions, etc.) You can video original footage or create collages ala old school and then create images frame by frame.

Any technique, any software or hardware you want to use is up to you. (Possibly Studio3D Max?) Again, sometimes when you have too many options the focus or message of the film trailer can get lost. Stay simple in concept, but big in production.

Due: Monday April 23rd or Monday April 30th. We'll discuss this in class.
