MAIN POST 3: research into opening sequence designs

I choose to watch the Kyle Cooper interview so I could get ideas for my opening sequence. I found the Kyle Cooper very intriguing. By watching these interviews it showed me and taught me the importance of an opening sequence and also how much planning and thought goes into a creation of one, it showed us that there is an large industry of just the production of opening sequences.
           The title sequences that we watched in both ‘Superman’ and ‘Seven’ were very good and well planned although the sequences did use a lot of CGI (Computer Graphic Images) and therefore managed to create more effects than we would be able to due to limited resources and also we don’t have the software.
          Through watching this it showed us that being adventurous usually makes the best style of an opening sequence if you can pull it off as the opening sequence shows what the film is going to be like and those minutes are what keep the viewers’ attention. Although we can’t use CGI we can still use a lot of editing skills such as fades to create a certain atmosphere, by watching this interview it has been very helpful and also given me idea to use in my opening sequence.
