Key learnings from previous Hurtwood openings



When looking at older title sequences there are certain patrons in them that work and don’t work. Arial shot usually seem convincing and often offer stunning images. Narrative driven peace are often really entertaining but especially when they feature a lot of dialogue don’t really resemble a opening title sequence but rather a tow minute short film with some titles thrown into the mix. Sequences featuring no dialogue but a simple a to b journey most often stand out and hit the right nerve as there is a story which can be exciting while not being to distracting from the credits/titels. These kind of title sequences constantly present new locations or new parts of a location keeping it interesting. Many of the opening sequences seem in parts repetitive especially the ones shot in one location featuring a lot of close ups. These concepts work for mostly for half a minute, after this point in time they start to be reparative. Openings starring only teenagers often seem armature like, as it often seems unrealistic, it seems like the directors wanted to hide the fact that these are infect teenagers. Age-appropriately casting can elevate a sequence just like fitting locations. Scenes filmed on location with a few exceptions always feel real which again elevates the hole scene.
  Slower pasted sequences featuring excessive camera movement often intrigue. The placement of the titles can either ruin shot composition or raise the quotiety of the scene in general. Sequences featuring shots where the environment or characters impact the titles always stand out.
