24. Individual idea/Outline for title sequence:

I would liked my title sequence to be stylised so it has a mixture of narrative and discrete title sequences as it will give off a combined effect. I prefer this style as i would like the information and the story-line to be quite vague but also allow the tone and atmosphere  to be set, this is to not have the risk of setting out a high expectation and then not being able to fulfill it. I would like the title sequence to be over moving images to show a metaphor and narrative thread, with non-diegetic sound and no dialogue so not much is given away. The use of these two will make help suspend disbelief.

Genre: Thriller

Title sequence: Shots of the neighbourhood,  quick transitions and flashbacks of the same place in the past, Shots of the family inside, close up of mother calling child to wake up, close up of dad eating.

Then an over the shoulder shot of one of the other children (who haven’t come to the neighbour hood yet) watching him sleep. Birds eye view shot of home.
