Titles for the final edit of the opening sequence

Titles

This title is of the name of the film. The title fades in so the audience see the title saying 'Snatched' in an eerie, spooky font that matches the narrative of the opening sequence. The title then smashes like glass off screen. After the smash the opening sequence begins. As soon as the titles appear on screen, the eerie music begins.

The titles start at the end of the sequence once the boy has been dragged over the hedge. The titles enter the screen through the use of a wipe that we edited in. The titles are in a white font and appear on a black background. The use of these contrasting colours make the titles stand out. If the titles were in bright colours on a colourful it would not fit the thriller genre, for that reason we decided on using black and white.

This shows how the first title appear on screen. The titles start from the first word and the last word and roll in to meet in the middle. Once on screen the letters look as if they are pulsating. When the title leaves the shot it spirals off in a wave like motion to the right of the screen.

 This title enters the shot in a wave like motion, the letters also spin as they enter the shot. When on screen the letters look as if they are pulsating. This creates a quite disorientated image for the audience which matches the thriller genre.

The titles then leave in a similar way to what they entered the shot. However they leave to the right of the shot rather than the left. Then words get smaller as they leave the shot.








To ensure the titles matched the thriller genre we wanted to create a disturbed and disorientated feel. From the way the titles enter and exit the shot we feel as if that feel was met.
