Dee's Class more title research!

I've continued to research the  title sequences and i have came across a  few really interesting ones!! 
In this blog post i am going to put some pictures and why i like them then in the next blog i am going to complete the task which we had been given on moodle. So as follows:     



1. The first animated title sequence i have chosen is   'Greases' title sequence as it is an earlier one and i really like the style especially the portraits.






2. This is my second sequence, it is different from the last one i chose








Dee's Class Title Sequence research 1.

A title sequence in my opinion is a  opening to the film to make the opening credits more interesting. rather then just having names scrolling down the screen. It adds colour and artistic relevance to it. It is seen in all films these days.

A title sequences purpose is to make the film entertaining from the very start it is also to draw us into the film, this creating a interesting atmosphere.

The first title sequence was created in 1936 for a  film called 'Show Boat' by James Whale.

He has been documentarian for 50 years, creating hundreds of documentaries on natural life such as animals, habitat and insects. Before he was a  presenter he was in the navy, clearly a  man of many talents.  During world war 2  his parents adopted two jewish girls, that making the total in the house being 7, himself, his mother, father, elder and younger brother.

Bear Grylls, has a series of documentaries on survival skills. He was in the Gunniess world book of records in 1998, Due to him being the youngest British person o climb everest.
He is also currently the chief scout leader, in charge of many tasks which the Scouting organization brings up. As i am a  young leader i can talk quite a lot about the Scouting organization, such as the different sections and age groups. such as: Beavers ( 5-7 Years old) Cubs (7-10 Years old) Scouts (10-14 years old) Explorers (14-18 years old). Then you move on the your basic adult leader training carrying on what you have learnt through out the sections.

Title Sequence - research

Title sequences are not to be confused with the opening credits!

In researching this topic i came across a  site (listed below) it had plenty examples of title sequences, this helping to stretch my knowledge of animation.

Types of Sequence titles i liked and thought we could incorporate into the Zombie film are as follows:

1.Mr. Magorium's wonder emporium, i like the colour of this title:







2.  Coraline - it is quite a  dark film
