Our title sequence finalised.

After the key concepts identified in the research if thriller title sequences we tried to find ways of putting these into our own thriller opening.
- We began with trying to have our credits fade out red. Although this wasn't easy and after various attempts proved to complicated when trying to carry this style out over the entirety of our title sequence. Therefore we disregarded this idea.
- The next key concept of using a key motif in each credit was easier to create. After finding a film strip image and finding a way in which we could get this into iMovie, the overall finish was not satisfactory. It was't subtle enough and looked amateur as it was to garish, overly imposing on the title sequence and drawing attention away from the actual credits. Therefore after careful consideration disregarded this idea too.
- The final key concept of using a smaller font for connectives and descriptions although was an idea that stuck. After finalising the appropriate size for the text it gave a more professional feel to the title sequence. As well as doing what it originally was seen to do in the other title sequences I researched - emphasis the key information (the names).
We also took ideas from the newest thriller title sequence I researched 'One Hour Photo'. We decided to include the key credits, with enough to ensure the title sequence didn't looked rushed and under researched. We also felt it helped give our thriller title sequence a modern feel as this was a noticeable difference between the two title sequences of 'One Hour Photo' - 2002 and 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' - 1992.
Our finalised title sequence therefore will consist of the following credits;
