A Timeline of Titles From a Film in my Chosen Genre

For this task I am going to create a timeline of titles specifically from the genre I have chosen for my film opening which is action. I have chosen to look at the Godzilla film opening (2014) because I haven't looked at a film like this before. This will allow me to see what titles are used in a different style of film so then I can see more of a variety of what I could have for my film opening.

Doing this task has given me an idea of more types of titles I could include in a film opening and how many titles could be shown, as out of all the film openings I have looked at previously, this opening has a lot more titles (except Fast & Furious 7) so this would be around the maximum amount I would use. Also by doing this task I have noticed that every film opening I have looked at has had capital letters and as I have mainly looked at action, I believe that having capital letters is a feature of this genre so I will be sure that I include capital letters in my own film opening. Overall this task has helped me by giving me another overview of a film opening that is quite different to the ones I have looked at before which has given me some ideas of what how long I shows the titles for, what animations look good and what the titles could say. I didn't state all of the text involved in this film opening but as you watch it, you can see that the names and titles are written within sentences to do with the film which are then covered up with a animation of tape. I quite like this idea as it is unique and I haven't seen it before and I feel that it makes you more drawn to the titles as it makes the sentence bigger and I felt like I wanted to pause the opening just so I could read what they said. This is an idea I could consider using in my film opening.
