The document analyzes and compares the title sequences of three films: Juno (2007), The Devil Inside (2012), and Pulp Fiction (1994). It provides a timeline breakdown of the titles that appear in each sequence. The analysis notes the visual style and effects used for different titles, particularly how the film title stands out. It comments on how the older Pulp Fiction sequence has a simpler, more basic style compared to the others. The document concludes by listing the order of titles it will include in its own opening sequence based on its analysis.

5. Analysis Juno
 For each title, there is a separate scene and title to display
the companies name’s who helped produce and fund the film
(fox searchlight pictures, Mandate pictures and Mr.Mudd
productions). However the company logo isn’t displayed, only
the name in the style of the title sequence which is a
technique that I like because its not to long winded and fits
my target audience no enjoying to many advertisement.

6. Analysis Juno
 The film’s name has it’s own separate title, again that is
in the same style as the last. Except different seeing as
an effect is applied to the title and it is bigger than the
others. It stands out because of the flashing effect and
because it is bright and colorful, and positioned well in
the frame. I would also like to make my film name stand
out like this.

7. Analysis Juno
 Acting titles for the film are all shown in a different
unique way, and are subtle and adapt to the background
of the scenes, however are still noticeable because of
capitals and bright colours. I like the way that the titles
are there, but not the only focus of attention.

8. Analysis Juno
 I like the effects applied to the sequence that make it
look like it has been drawn, and I like the way that the
Titles fit the house style of the sequence. The style and
effects represent the genre and what feelings the film
may give off.

9. The Devil Inside
 ‘The Devil Inside’ 2012 Horror
Director: William Brent Bell
 This is the second title sequence I am going to analyse
because of the different genre to my first and also the
genre may provide me with similar techniques I can use
in my own.

12. Analysis The Devil Inside
 Like as before, each studio and funding source for the
film, had there own separate title as it is mandatory
and so that the audience see it. However still no logo
was represented for the studios.

13. Analysis The Devil Inside
 The film name appears after a few titles, and again is
presented on its own. It is in the center of the frame
and is white to standout on the black background. A
fade in effect is applied, as well as a distortion effect to
fit the style as well as a font that fits the style.

14. Analysis The Devil Inside
 Actors titles have all separate titles and have different
effects, however all follow a distressing style. The titles
appear in different positions and are the main
focus, seeing as the shots coming on in the background
are also very distortive and seem as if they are sampled
clips from other films or movies.

15. Analysis The Devil Inside
 I like the effects applied to this sequence, seeing as
they give of a eerie feeling that would fit my film.
However, I feel they may be a bit to heavy for my film
but fit this film and its genre.

16. Pulp Fiction
 ‘Pulp Fiction’ 1994 Crime Thriller
Director: Quentin Tarantino
The last title sequence I chose was pulp fiction,
because I wanted to choose a film that was a bit
older than the others to see the difference, also it
is a very famous crime thriller film and a classic.

20. Analysis Pulp Fiction
 As all the other sequence’s each production company
gets there own title. This is typical in every opening
sequence and must be included. This time a logo for one
of the companies was present.

21. Analysis Pulp Fiction
 The Title of the film is given its own shot and fills the
whole frame in capitals and bold colours which stand
out against the background and keep with the theme.
You can’t miss it. The title then has an zoom out effect
on it as other titles appear on top of it, however it stays
in shot for another minute.

22. Pulp Fiction Analysis
 Each actor is given there own title which has been the
same with every other title sequence. Little is there
apart from the title which appears then disappears after
a couple of seconds in a white, basic font and is
centered in the frame. I quite like the simplistic side of
this, however wouldn’t be appropriate for my own
sequence.

23. Analysis Pulp Fiction
 Seeing as this film is quite a lot older than the others, it
is very different in effects and content. The titles are
very simplistic and basic which was expected as they
didn’t have the equipment we have today. However the
opening sequence does have a scene at the beginning
which I like and is something we will include in our own
sequence.

24. Title List
 After studying all three title sequence, I have come up with a
title list for titles I will use in my own opening sequence and
in the following order.
- Studio
- Funding Sources
- Director
- Film Title
- Actors
- Casting By
- Costume
- Music
- Editors
- Producer and Co-Producers
- Story/Written by
