Title Sequences&idents

In this task we had to discuss how thriller openings are typically composed. we decided with a typical format that we see in the majority of films, however some films do change the order of this. We went through some idents, and some examples are listed below. I then decided to look at some examples and wrote what order their opening sequences went in.


The production company- IDENT 
(E.g. MGM, Paramount, Dreamwork, pixar, 20th century, universal, warner bros., disney)
Production company presents
A film by...(director name)
Main stars
   TITLE
Other major cast number
Sound, editing, make up, costume, lighting
 
Producer
Director








Examples:

1. 'Se7en'



-Production company/ Ident
-Film by...(David Fincher)
-Main stars (Brad Pitt&Morgan Freeman)
-TITLE
-Other cast members
-sound, editing, make up, costume, lighting
-Producers
-director







2. 'Panic Room'



- Ident/ Production company
-Main stars
-TITLE
-Other cast members
-Costume, sound, make up, editing, lighting etc.
-Producer
-Director (David Fincher)

























3. 'Godzilla'

-Production company/ Ident
-Directed by...(Gareth Edwards)
-Main stars
-other cast members
-costume, lighting, make up, sound, editing etc
-Director
-TITLE























What we can learn from these examples, is that they all follow this philosophy one way or another. Wheather its slightly changed, it always there, in similar layouts and has become apart of the norm when watching films. One thing we can guarantee is that the ident will always be first.
