Art Of The Title Sequence

300

The title sequence of the movie 300.

The font used in this title sequence looks like a font which is used in comics.

The titles are placed onto the black parts which are shown as shadow's.
The title is 300 which explains how many warriors there is or how many is left.
They don't give any images of the real characters, the imagery looks like it has came out from a comic.
The shots used are mainly wide shots, to show to show the surroundings and also to see a bunch of characters, a mid shot to see a man holding a shield and a knife and a close up of a man spitting blood.
The reason i have chosen this title sequence is because it sounds out from other title sequences, its a comic title sequence and it doesn't introduce any of the characters.

Hi Group 13

Hello there happy group. The blog is looking really nice overall - I especially like some of the analysis you have been doing on fonts. The blog could be a little more varied in the media you use - so start to embed some clips to add variety. Also - none of the practice filming you did for the bag swap/card game is up there so come to workshop to upload!!

well done so far.

Live Type & Sound Track Pro Skills

Live Type

I have learnt how to create a title sequence by using the software Live Type. I have learnt how to make a effective background and how to add affect to the text, e.g. how the texts comes in/out during the sequence.

Sound Track Pro

We also used the software Sound Track Pro, this software is to create a soundtrack with lots of different layers of sounds to make one full soundtrack, it was easy to use as you only had drag the sounds onto the time player.

Live Type & Soundtrack Skills

This is a title which I've made in LiveType. We will be using this program to create the original title for our original clip. LiveType is great to use because you can choose from different effects and different types of fonts for your title.

This is a program called SoundTrack. I will be using this to create the soundtrack and some types of sound effects for our little clip. This program is actually good to use because it has a variety of instruments to choose from.

Skills Audit - Livetype and Sound

Livetype

To create the specific type of font during producing our thriller film opening, we were introduced to Livetype a program on Apple Macs which has allowed us to view variety of different fonts in different styles. The program Livetype is really useful and quick way to produce the type of font you would like to have.

Soundtrack

On Apple Macs we were also introduced to Soundtrack. This program allows us to listen to variety of different sounds. It is also possible to edit the sound you have inserted on to the timeline. This program will be useful for our soundtrack for our opening sequence as we are need to produce our soundtrack without a copywright.

live type and soundtrack pro

To have a good thriller opening title sequence, we need to have a good quality opening title with a soundtrack that creates anxiety. The two programs that will allow us to do this is, Live Type and Sound.


Live Type allows us to create a title sequence which helps express the mood and genre of the film for example, every font, size of font and colour represents an emotion. Live type can be used in Final Cut Pro, which is very handy because, we originally need to create our thriller opening title sequence in Final Cut Pro.

Soundtrack allows us to create music that we could use in our thriller opening title sequence. Music can really create tension, and Soundtrack is a great program to use because it allows us to combine a variety of instruments with each other, which could possibly turn out to be music that really creates anxiety and suspicion.
