4 Types of Film Openings
Titles - Which are over moving images
This type consists of titles appearing over motion in the background. An example of this can be the title sequence of Layali as there is red and blue title fonts which is aboe the moving images in the background, this can be seen, as there is title images alignged from the left to the right hand of the screen above the moving background as the characters are coming into scene.
Titles - Animation or Motion
Digital technology is the key factor and is editing which is used to attract the characters this does not involve any real footage and has to be created. For example, from the movie requiem for a dream, we see Saras eyes being zoomed into and played with through the use of excess drug use, of course this is done through the use of computers and animation as well as motion.
Titles - Black screen
This is normally used with white text due to the high contrast between the two colours, making the titles stand out. Type of text is used to drop hints about the film's time, genre or main characters. For example, a white title against the black screen could portay a sense of horror. As it is not a vibrant colour which could indicate a start to the movie as being slow and make the audience more into the movie as they get to feel the sense of genre through the title against the black screen.
Titles on still images
The images and text put together through the font show the audience a sense of film genre as it is a few secound images to represent both the characters and scene. For example, from Hairspray the audience see the characters presented in the form of still images.
