Journal: Lesson 3

In lesson 3 as a class we looked an existing title sequence. We looked at the title sequence to the film called ‘Dawn of the Dead’, we analysed the title sequence to see what sort of features that a horror title sequence contain. and also existing pre title designers, I found this interesting because this is the start of the film which has to draw the audience in and entertain them before the film starts.  Otherwise if they don’t succeed and entertain then the audience might walk out before the films starts. This showed me that it is an important and hard job as the success is on the hands of he designer. Once we looked at these we looked at well known title sequence designers these included the likes of Saul Bass and Kyle cooper. Eve though we looked a Kyle Coopers work we didn’t look at him and his life, whereas we looked at Saul bass life and the work he produced.  We looked at Some of Saul Bass most famous title sequences such as Oceans Eleven and the man with the Golden arm. We looked at the title sequences and discussed as a class the codes and conventions that they contain. Once we finished this we were allocated the task to look at other title sequence designer and create a case study on the person. We were provided a website link called ‘watch the title.com’ which gave us a list of designers. After I looked through them I found a man called Laurent Brett and decided to produce my case study on him. The reason in which I chose him is because when looking through his work he produced title sequence to films I have heard of but also films I have never heard of before.
