Order of the titles

Considering we are now developing further in the production of our title sequence, we had to research deeper into what makes up the title sequence. We came across the fact that we had to look at the actual order of the titles as the come up. The typical titles usually appear in the following order:

- Studio Logos
- Film company presents
- Film name
- Actors names
- (the following don't have to follow particular order) 

• Casting
• Make-Up
• Special effects
• Music
• Sound Editor
• Line producer
• Executive producer
• Editor
• Director of photography
• Writers
• Director 

We have decided that our film title however, will appear last out of all the titles. We decided to do this because the film title may give a lot away about the genre or the film in general. We also thought that the title sequence will work well without knowing the name of the film as it is quite self explanatory. However, I think this issue needs to be discussed further in our group to make a final decision on if we should keep the film title at the end. 

Final song choice

After nobody completed the questionnaire I produced to get a wider opinion on what piece of music would fit best to our title sequence, we decided upon it within our group. After a lot of listens to all our song options, we felt this fit the best as it has a good balance of high and low notes. The high piano notes may also represent ink drips or tears which are both in our title sequence. 

Final font

This is our chosen font for  the titles and also the letter. I had doubts about using this font for the letter as I don't want it to look obviously typed. However, if it is printed out on good paper, and the saturation of the font is slightly altered I think it will work just as well as it being handwritten. If I am not satisfied with the outcome of the letter being printed, the last option is to trace the printed letter onto different paper. However, if I write over the printed letter it could look more realistic. 

amendments to our title sequence

We have discussed with Leanne about our title sequence and our progress. We came to the conclusion that our sequence needed to be changed slightly before we shot it. It became apparent to us that our decision in how to embed the titles did not work as we chose two different ways to do it. One of them was to have the titles appearing over the narrative sequence itself, which has to correlation to what is happening in the actual title sequence. However, we also initially wanted to have the titles appearing on a notebook, the same one Finn is reading the letter from, and obviously the same one Arrow wrote it. After looking at this again, we realised that it may be confusing to the viewer if the titles are appearing in two different ways. Also, in the order of titles the first that appear in the sequence are the most important so it wouldn't make sense if at the end of the sequence all the focus was on the titles of the people that aren't as important in the film.
