Title Sequences

I chose to look into title sequencing, and there codes and conventions. Through this i looked into analyzing titles as many films have unusual and interesting title sequences; Titles were used as another type of means to draw the audience. An therefore resided to analyze them to 

Title card 

a title card is the way in which the credit information is displayed towards the opening of the film. There are different types of title cards which are as follows.

• A single title card contains one name credit. Typically used in opening titles to display the name of the lead actors and the creative people involved in the movie. Generally referred to as the above-the-line credits.

• A double title card contains two name credits. Typically is used to display the names of supporting actors and additional creative people involved in the movie.

• A triple title card contains three name credits. Typically used to display the names of additional supporting actors.

• A multiple title card contains more than three name credits. Typically used to name additional supporting actors or extras.

• A main title card displays the main title of the movie.

• Scrolling titles are titles that move sequentially in and out of frame, generally used as end titles.

• A lower third is a title placed on the lower-third of the screen (although there might be other screen placements you could consider), generally used to display the information—name and title—of a person being interviewed or a location.

• Subtitles are titles placed on the lower-third part of the screen (or sometimes on the top of the screen to avoid covering relevant information on-screen or previously existing lower thirds). These are generally used to translate dialogue in another language.

• Intertitles are title cards that display the time, place, prologue, or quotes. In silent films, an intertitle is often used to convey minimal dialogue or information that can’t be deduced from the talent’s body language or the scene’s settings.

As we are doing thriller films the first title sequence i decided to analyse was splice.

Splice

As it's impossible to find an example of splices titles to embed i have had to substitute for a link.

the title sequence of splice seems to hols aspects of both a horror and a thriller showing the birth of a new life and displaying credits under the skin of the creature. These credits are reminiscent of blood-vestals for the more important characters and titles, the others however are displayed throughout the journey through and around the body.

Although this idea is too complex for me to recreate myself i am thinking of using the idea of a journey for the opening of our thriller. however with our thriller i'm hoping to do this more in a literal sense without the science fiction.
