Categorising Title Sequences




1. Narrative title sequences
The titles are integrated into the moving images in some way and begins as the film itself begins. It goes straight into the plot. Inter cut, top of the screen. This might be as a long establishing shot. Getting the audience straight into the film.

2. Discrete title sequences
The titles are integrated into the moving images but it is not entirely clear about what the films plot/story line is about. this kind of title sequence helps to set the tone and gives what could happen later in the film. This type of title sequence is common when the film doesn't want to give anything away.

3.Stylized title sequences
The title sequence are integrated with filters, animations and visual effects. The can be a mixture of the other 2 sub categories in terms of what we see. However the moving images and the credits have been stylised (using filter , motion etc) to create a combined effect. 

My preference out of the 3 is narrative because i prefer to not about what I'm about to see.
