For my title sequence, I needed to look into planning aspect of the project which would require me to research into storyboarding for title sequence. According to "Terry Gilliam" who is a film director expresses how important a story board is in making a perfect scene, describing it as the backbone of a successful movie production. And since I am looking into thriller, drama genre I decided to get some ideas on how to plan a storyboard by looking at the existing movie title sequence and how they planned it from start to the end.
Looking through all this storyboards, I was able to decide on what I want my title sequence to have in it, for example I like the use of still images as in the series walking dead, showing bits and giving ideas of what the story entails. For example in the image above for the walking dead, there's a slight introduction of the character by having his image on a dirty old news paper without revealing too much or giving the entire story away, also there's teddy bear, showing how the whole place has been deserted for so long, and images of schools, cities etc. making the audience feel the whole city is being wiped out.
After considering all this elements in a title sequence like the opening scene ,what the audience is going to see first at the beginning of the sequence, use of colour, what emotion do I want the audience to feel, do I want them to feel tense watching it , scared, or feel anticipated. So I decided to sketch up a rough idea of what I'll be having in my title sequence, and below is the image I came up with as my plan.
As shown above, I have an establishing short to what kind of picture I want the audience to see first and how I want them to feel watching it. Also I didn't want to give everything away so I had bits of what the story is about like the knives and the hidden face police, etc.
