Title Research | The Reaping

  What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?

    Some titles displayed in the opening sequence are the costume designer, visual effects supervisor, story, screenplay, producers, executive producers, cinematographer, editor, music, co-producer. After that, names of actors are displayed throughout the opening sequence. Once the main actors have been displayed, it shows things such as "In Association With:" and the company it was produced by.

 What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

    Things that appear the most and seem to be prioritized in this opening sequence are microscopic images, mainly of bugs and eyelashes. From the legs of ants to human eyelashes, each image shown is a microscopic view of some biological factor.

 How does the film establish a feeling of the genre?

    With the confusing imagine and eerie music, the opening sequence leaves the viewer puzzled. You aren't exactly sure what it is that you're looking at. It's not until rewatching the title sequence that you can make out what's going on and fully process it. I think this is personal. By leaving the audience with a sense of confusion, it mimics the confusion of the people in the film. They're not sure what to make of the situation that just hit them.

FONT - The font I will be using will probably be a simple font such as " Helvetica " or " Montserrat ". I don't want to use something too techie-looking or fancy since this takes place in a somewhat casual and modern setting. COLOR - I might just do a simple white with some black outline to give contrast and have the titles easily seen. I may or may not end up doing something a little more exciting and less generic, but I'll play around with how it looks as I edit the opening sequence. TITLE - Since the story is meant to be about jealousy, I was thinking of calling it something like "Green" symbolizing an envious "Green-eyed monster" in folktales. If this ends up being the case, I'll probably add some more green into the titles and story to convey this subtly. I don't want to call it something edgy like "envy" or "vengeance."  That sounds pretty corny to me. Titles may enter and exit the screen to a series o...
