To help us decide on the titles for our own thriller opening sequence, Ellie, Morgan and I carried out some research. This consists of three different documents, where we looked at the order of the titles and how they were displayed. These three films were Fury (2014), Gone Girl (2014)and Fast and Furious 6 (2013). Furthermore, this will help us with our own titles because it will give us ideas for the font, transitions and order.

In the documents below you will see the order of titles for these two opening sequences and a few screenshots to show the font and size of text used.

For this task we also had to complete a timeline for a chosen film. We watched the opening sequence for Fury (2014) and wrote down all of the titles displayed during the set time. We also had to write down any actions, sounds and music used. Here we discovered many different things about this opening sequence, for example we found out the transitions used, the size of the font and placing of the titles.
