3 title openings Maddie

 
The Bourne Ultimatum
The opening starts with the release companies name on a black screen which then fades into the main characters name on the bottom left corner which is also on a black screen so nothing ditracts from it. The main title composition is set in the middle of the screen and then fades out. The text colour and font is easy to read and with nothing else on the screen doesnt take the focus away from the title.
Whilst it is fading into other names there is a quick pace soundtrack which then quickens as the black screen fades to create suspense and an extreme close up is shown of a main prop with names of producers on the corner of the screen, small enough to not take the focus away from the image being shown but big enough to see. The colours that have been chosen for the text dont blend into the opening scene even though it is white writing on grey looking paper. The movement of the camera is very quick and has a shallow depth of field making the edges of the what is being shown blurry.
 There are a few focus pulls from the book on the table to the writing on the paper where it is out of focus then a name or place will come into focus and then the camera will quickly move away.

Terminator 2 Judgment day

The opening starts with the release companies name on a black screen in the centre. It then fades out to the first scene. A shallow depth of field is used here to blur the background so you can still see the outline of the people walking past but allows you to see the text clearly. There is a soundtrack played in the background which is quite slow and does not have a fast pace to it which gives an overall effect of the music combined with the images making the scene very gloomy. After part of the first scene is played the title then appears from the fire and thw words get bigger on the screen until it fades out and follows the scene on. The soundtrack played is parallel with the scene shown and the lighting used it quite bright at the beginning but gets considerably darker as it slowly moves into the scene more. The title colour is quite desaturated and then goes very bright as it leads into the film.

BraveHeart

The opening starts with the release companies name on a black screen in the centre. It then fades into the title coming through the image of the clouds to try and make it appear part of it. The text then comes in closer and closer until it fades out into an establishing shot of wales scenery. There is then a slow pace scottish soundtrack of bagpipes as the camera pans around the landscape. I think the soundtrack relates to the film well, which makes it parallel as it is about the scottish winning their freedom in the battle. There is use of focus pulling from the trees to the people below to which it then goes straight into the film.

  1. Rather descriptive Maddie. Why not add some greater detail perhaps a greater use of stills to really illustrate your points
