Practice titles

As you want to keep the audience interested in the film, the opening sequence and titles are vital in keeping the audience's attention because it is the first few minutes of a film that can potentially reel them in for the whole movie.

There are four members in our group, so we are likely to include the four main titles in our credits. Here is an example of some of the titles we intend to use:

• Director - Tom Snell
• Cinematographer - Gabriel Clarke
• Sound - Sade Mills-Isiorho
• Editor - Victor Mishra

Having looked at many examples of opening titles sequences to thrillers, we as a group have decided to use our titles at a point where it builds the most tension until the climax. You would think if anything, surely that ruins the tension and has the opposite affect as it slows the pace of of sequence.
However, we are using it in the point of view sequence where Victor is falling in and out of consciousness. This allows us to fade in titles when drifting out of consciousness a few times, starting with titles such as Editor/Sound etc and then director. After the climax, (Being shot) the title of the movie will appear.
Consequently, we hope that, by adding in the titles during the tense moments it will give a professional look to it rather than just sticking them in at the end.
