Title Sequence Research

The basic nine frame structure is looking at the first 9 shots of a particular film. These frames are all extremely important and they may not be relative at first , however, they can prove to be important later on during the course of the film. Example: "The Conjuring" (http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/the-conjuring/) A nine frame structure can help establish small aspects of the narrative for a movie in a very discreet manner. Usually , we as the audience receive information from the title sequence but we never absorb the information. The first frame is usually the most important frame due to the fact that it is the establishing shot, in this instance we see the first family which is the "Warren Family". It is the first thing the audience see. Here, see a Picture of a family . The picture is in black and white and automatically there a specific connations that come into your mind when you think . Firstly, the black and white could signify the importance of time in the film. The second frame shows the second family involved in the movie. The name of the film is written in bold black font just as the initial family and the photo is still in black in white which signifies they both must of equal importance. The third frame shows the who the film is by. It states the film was directed by James Wan. This time the font changes to white due to the fact that the colour pallet and the background also changes. The background changes to a large house/ mansion which automatically ticks the list for typical horror film settings. Simply through having a establishing shot of the house introduces the audience to the plot. The fourth frame shows the individual who wrote the film. The Text is written in white font and it is in contrast with the image in the background. The image is of a newspaper which has direct relevance and it is in contrast with the subtitle. .
