Post 9 - convntions of a title sequence

The conventions of a title sequence is that they all have a distributor. Depending on the type of film the distributor will differ. From watching films in the past I realised that many films which is mainly targeted towards older children use the distribute ‘paramount’ this is a very well known distributor who take many films under there name and advertise them. Many films I have watched which have the distributor ‘paramount’ are usually in my opinion good so I can pre -judge by the distributor whether its going to be a good quality film or not. The films ‘Spiderwick Chronicles’ and ‘Bridget Jone’s diary’ both have the distributor ‘Paramount’ ‘Fun Size’ and ‘Flight’ also use the distributor  ‘Paramount’ The films are all aimed for any one above the age of 10 as younger kids may not understand.

In scary films it is conventional for the production/film to come first for example in the films ‘The exorcist’ ‘The sixth sense’ and ‘A nightmare on Elm street’ This happens. This could show that this is the most important part as they are the makers of the film and more involved in the making of it. Also the order the actors come up on the screen imply that these particular names will play the main characters. In all three cases of the horror films this is correct. They all have this which could also show they are big film stars and usually if there name is on its own is like that so the audience can notice the big movie stars that are in the film.

 The titles creativity is conventional in the three horror/thriller films I have looked at. The three films I have looked at are ‘Dreamcatcher’ ‘Se7en’ and ‘Silent hill’ they show there creativity through the shots and editing used. In ‘Dreamcatcher’ and ‘Silent Hill’ there is clear computerised work which the tiles are shown over. The use of this shows the creativity as they are using all the possible aspects they can. The film ‘Se7en’ uses many extreme close ups and close up in the title sequence. This shows the creativity as they are deliberately using them shots to hide certain things from the audience. The shots that are used in ‘Se7en’ are also very creative in themselves, as the objects used are different and relate to the film which makes the audience think that the film is going to be very different
