Summarise the conventions of title sequences that were most important to this task.
In this task, as we didn't have access to the sound, we were forced to look at the visuals only. As the genre is crime, and also fairly gruesome, we decided to portray genre using these themes.
Conventions also include having to fulfill legal requirements, for example make all the text big enough so it's easily readable, and include the people's names you are supposed to show in the sequence.
How did your group plan to edit the title sequence? (consider timings, industry requirements etc).
As we didn't have much time available to us, we were forced to work fast and efficiently. We tried to space out the names shown to be in equal spacing, so that we could be consistent in that sense. We also planned to add more names and job roles, for example director etc, but didn't have time to actually portray them in the sequence.
Explain the creative decisions made by your group.
As there is a lot of iconography concerning blood, we decided to add a red colour to our text, hence meeting genre requirements, as it is adding to the sense of atmosphere that we want to portray through this to introduce the show. We also used effects that would portray the craziness of the character himself, for example the slanted text and the rapid movement of other text, but at the same time easily readable for the audience.
How does your re-edit compare to the original?
Our re-edit is similar in the sense that it creates a similar mood. The text is the same colour as the original (red) and has a similar font. The original though, has a lot more titles, that continue throughout the sequence almost non-stop.
