RESEARCH: A BRIEF HISTORY OF TITLE DESIGN
- Explain that you watched this three times
- title design has changed over time and new technologies such as CGI have had their impact
- good title design entails a link between the graphics and the film genre
- you studied the different types of approach: some used CGI, some live action, some a mix
- you pick (say) 5 or 6 of your favourite from this screening, decode the iconography and say what you yourself might like to use from this model / inspiration
- screenshots!
- use bullet points: keep text crisp and concise
For example:
Ghost in the Shell (Mamoru Oshii, 1995)
- The title sequence to Ghost in the Shell belongs to the 'inner workings' genre
- Its style is a mix of
animation and other editing techniques
- It includes hi-tech CGI with computer graphics that mimic computer code
- It features Japanese manga / anime and naked torsos
- The sound track is Kenji Kawai’s intimidating, minimalist score.
- It
follows the construction of a cyborg from the inside out
- First the robot’s inner-core is
assembled, then the imagery becomes softer and warmer colors as the
cyborg takes on a more human form, soon emerging from the mechanical
womb as a young woman.
- I find this compelling as it creates a cyborg in front of the viewer and signals the genre very clearly
- One of our students has used the computer code imagery and if I were doing a crime or spy film I would seek to convey a high-tech world by incorporating computer graphics.
