Title Sequences by Alexander Martin

The title sequence of a film is in itself an art form and can be just as effective and important as any other aspect of the film especially since it will be the first thing a viewer will see when viewing it or whether it will be purchased after distribution.














The examples we have been using are the boxing films of Fighting and Ali both of which we feel not only used the conventional methods in order to create an effective but also compelling film but they also used very similar title sequences to display their names which simply consist of the title made clear and colourful and mounted on a darker background so as to emphasise and make it more readable.

We decided to follow a similar route by making out title sequence also appear on a dark background but decided to make it more recognisable by using 2 colours to complement each other and a font that would be easily recognisable.





Here is an example of the titles which resembles the title shot of Ali, we decided to stick closely to convention by not making it too over extravagant but also to challenge it slightly so that it stands out more and will also be remembered more clearly when compared to others.

However we also wished to display our company logo so as to give credit to our efforts whereas some usually only display it as a flash title we decided on giving it a full graphic display similar to those used in 20th Century Fox
