What makes a good title sequence according to kyle cooper?
Kyle cooper is credited with being the man who revitalised title sequences as an art form, he has made many successful movie openings which have set a standard for many of today's title sequences. He thinks that's that a good film opening should set out an expectaion for a film, should give information for the audience to build on, but not give away the plot of the movie.
Aspects of a good opening:
One of kyle coopers most known film openings is the film 'SE7EN' this opening shows how important the font in an opening is, this use of font: introduces that main character's personality, sets the tone of the movie and also reflects the story within the film.
kyle cooper find thats film openings don't have to be overly complicated to be successful.
for example kyle cooper expressed that dead zone was a good film opening as it had simple typography and background music which matched the genre and film.
to kill a mocking bird was a successful opening sequence as it; introduced the main character and main point of the plot, it was smoothly shot and had interesting angles and movements, the typography was integrated and not overly complicated form.
Story based title sequence:
A story based main title sequence is a title sequence that has a story with is expressed narratively or metaphorically. this gives the audience building information that is still limited.
Studio importance:
the studio which creates a film may run into some trouble in the audience test screening such as: not enough information given in the main movie, not enough budget to cover everything or the audience not reacting to scenes the way they expected.
the title sequence is important to fill the gaps in the film, adding additional details to the plot and characters that may not be able to be expressed during the film, the title sequence can also add a back story to the characters or advance the plot such as add a needed ending,
