But by knowing the different ways in which title sequences and opening credits are used, you’ll be better prepared to use them in your own work. There’s no right choice, only stylistic ones. So when considering which strategy might work best, ask yourself these questions:ġ: How would a title sequence help to communicate tone, character, plot, or theme? Can it plant clues and foreshadow later events?Ģ: Can the same effect be achieved with a title card? Including a title card by itself is a statement and maybe that's the best way to introduce this world and this story.ģ: Is it worth the time to create a title sequence? In many cases, the title sequence is an entire production by itself and since it's not technically necessary, will the end product justify the means?Ĥ: Should I save time and have the credits superimposed onto the film/episode opening? This applies more to television, especially half-hour shows, where every second of an episode run time could easily be spent without dedicated opening credits. No matter how you cut it, TV and movies opening credits are an essential part of any production. TITLE SEQUENCE CONSIDERATIONS Credits in your own production The point is that you should take advantage of what a title sequence can provide to the overall storytelling. The success of the sequence is in how it establishes tone and communicates comedy, all the while relaying credits.
It becomes immediately clear to us as an audience that this is a parody world. First we’re given the Marvel title card, then we’re literally thrown into the absurd action of Deadpool.
