This website is very similar to the other website I researched while studying title slides. I researched this site after the last one to gain more knowledge. Also, I wanted to find common elements in different title cards/sequences. This site just farther opened my eyes to the significance of title sequences. I saw so many different movies and genres that I've watched before but never have really paid attention to. I've learned that in these sequences, credits of the people who've worked on a film are inserted. I also learned that these credits are not always in the beginning, some are in the end as well. Now, I have a gained a greater appreciation for these sequences. In films, this is the barrier from the opening sequence and the rest of the movie. Meaning, it is important and a reflection of the contents of the movie.

I went to this website to learn a little about title sequences. I watched some title sequences from all genres. Then, I went a little more into depth and watched genres that were specifically drama films. I saw many unique title sequences on this website. I realized that there is much effort that goes into these. This is something that I usually overlook when watching movies or Tv shows. But, I have a newfound respect for them and will look out for them more. Every film has their own way of going about title sequences. In films, this is the barrier from the opening sequence and the rest of the movie. Meaning, it is important and a reflection of the contents of the movie.  

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? There are many different sounds and music tracks playing throughout the movie. The soundtracks are sometimes very calm and then directly after you'll see a scene change and there is a whole different mood, but it just flows together perfectly. They bring about a lightness to the scenes. They also signify mood changes within the main characters. This movie also has voiceovers. In some of the ending scenes, the main character reflects on everything that happened throughout the movie. She reflects on all the ups and downs.  What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? A element I like is that one of the main characters often hides his true feelings from people. That is something I want to portray throughout my opening sequence too. I also like the crane movements in the movie. they truly capture the full view of where scenes take place. The movie also captures raw emotion ...
