Evaluation 

In this evaluation I felt that my title sequence went very well and I kept a good mood of thriller through the title sequence not giving away what the movie will be like.  I believe that the duration of the title sequence was quite short I thought I could of made it longer but risking that it would say too much in the title sequence and would ruin the movie. I felt the music worked well with the sequence but I thought something less musical and scrappier and more abnormal noises like in the title sequence of seven. I was playing around with types of music like pink Floyd, especially the album dark side of the moon because they have unusual music in their album, which would work well in the concept of the title sequence, however I couldn’t find the sound which would of contrasted well in my sequence.

            Overall the title sequence went well and I’m happier with the outcome of it but if I would do the sequence again I would of kept the thriller genre because I feel you can have more fun with this type of genre. I would of used after effects more frequently than just chopping and changing parts I would of used the effects to get more of a strange, scratchy effect. For example I would of made the type jump up and down possibly fade it in and out of the sequence, and I would of made the imagery more dark and mystery to keep the flow of abnormality because I feel the title sequence I have made is too minimalistic. 

1st attempt

From the 1st attempt i didn't change alot because I felt that the mood of the sequence was good and had the feeling I was looking for. The aspects of the sequence I changed was I changed A film by David Fincher to Michael Vernile, I made the scene with the title stay on longer because I thought it was took quick, next I reversed the scenes where the person is cutting the film and cutting paper, felt that it gave an interesting effect on that section, and finally at the end I took out directed by David Fincher because I didn't want it to be a David Fincher film.

These are the links I have used in my title sequence. the first link is the soundtrack I have used, I've selected the beginning of the song up to 1:10 secs. Next in the beginning of my title sequence I have used link no5. the part I used for this is from 0:22 to 0:26secs. Next I used link no3, I've chopped and slowed it down to make it a longer scene,  the section I used is from 0:00 - 0:29secs. After that I used link no2, I used 0:39 - 0:41 I reversed the clips to give more of an effect. lastly I used link no4. With this link I chopped and changed scenes to fit better to what I was looking for.
