Art of the Title

Today i visited a website called www.artofthetitle.com in order to gain an insight into the making of effective opening sequences. I looked at a variety of different film openings, such as 'Quantum of Solace' and 'Scott Pilgrim vs the World'.

Halloween
Halloween is an opening which i looked at in more detail. It uses quite pain font, meaning the audience isn't distracted by the font when reading the content of the credits. The colour scheme is black and orange, which are colours usually associated which halloween, meaning they are obviously appropriate. The Pumpkin gradually gets closer and close to the camera in each shot, which builds tension. The way that the light within the pumpkin is considered to be 'spooky'. As i was unable to put the actual video onto here, the link to it features below.
