The structures of the title sequences.

We start thinking on the appearance of the opening title sequence we are going to shoot, particularly titles. How are they going to be presented?
Here are some examples of the different styles of opening sequences. We haven't really thought a lot about that, but these structures I'd like to see most.

Film begins straight from the off and titles are superimposed on top of action.

So, you see the titles appears just on top of the action. This may work good with our idea, because we want people to be involved and concentrated on the events that are taking part in our extract. So this won't let people to relax, they won't distract on the titles much, but will be catching all the info together.

Discreet title sequences -  where the titles are completely separated from the rest of the film and are filmed and edited in a different style, often a montage.

I don't think that kind of titles will work with all our paranoia thing. Our main goal is to show skills in editing, shooting and plotting. We've created a good interesting plot and want our film to be the main thing , but not the montage titles.

Stylised editing - film starts but during the title sequence an elaborate style of editing is used to introduce the text in amongst the action. Deliberately draws attention to style of editing.

I like this one the most, because it is very unusual. The titles are presented in an elaborated way, that attracts the audience a lot. But this technique needs a work of real professionals and I suppose a lot of time, while we have to make our work excellent, it is better to reduce the level of difficulty, but do it as better as possible. So, I wouldn't pick this technique out of others.

Animated

This is an absolutely animated style, which goes not on top of the action. And must be created on the computer. I wouldn't choose that one, because we HAVE to shoot, but no stay near the computer the whole time. And also we need to have some skills in doing such kind of things, that none of us has.

Old school - titles over a black screen then the film starts. This structure can emphasise the soundtrack.

That is a very traditional way of showing the titles, which I don't prefer, because if you have time to show something why not to show???) Basically, we have a plot and a actions we are shooting, that I don't think will go along good with a black screen with tittles. It will destroy the tension  we want to create by showing our piece. However it may work out even better, but not before the start of our film, but at the same time.

Basically , I can imagine our opening title sequence made with help of this structure, if we use the black screen with the titles periodically, after some shots.
