We have been researching various title sequences from the opening of films to identify what titles an order we will place onto our thriller piece. In our research we timed how long each title stayed on screen and also how the background music changed with each title. To help with our work we used a website called Art of the title.

Below is our handwritten analysis for the film Fury. We noted down when each title was and what the title was dedicated to, we also studied what sounds were playing in the background to build the tension and prepare the viewers for the narrative. We lastly studied which transitions the titles have to enter the screen.

Secondly we researched 300 and Panic Room for their use of titles. We used a document to write down the order they came in and also the transitions which was used for each title and then how long the main titles last on screen.

The research has been very helpful in helping with the planning for our title orders and the duration of each title.

This is our title order plan we will use in the creation of our thriller.
