The Art Of The Title Sequence















TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD



I think the opening of ‘To Kill A Mocking bird’ is innocent and it has a lot of depth to it. I like this opening title because there is a lot more to it than what meets the eye; it also gets my mind going as I think about the significance of the objects that I have been shown.

This title sequence is also in black and white. The title of the film is over a crayon scribble. This makes it stand out from the other titles shown in this sequence as they are all the same font size and colour.

Serif Fonts have been used in this title sequences, I think this suggests that the film is serious and it has a deep context that involves important people e.g. Government officials. The titles are placed above the images and they fade in and out of each other. I like the subtle transition because it doesn’t overshadow the other things that are going on in the title sequence.

There are a lot of close ups and extreme close-ups in this title sequence. This allows us to focus on the objects shown. I like this title sequence because it makes me think about what is going to happen in the film. The objects involved in this title sequence Marbles, crayons, and stopwatch are innocent but I think they have a big impact. The drawing of a bird is done with a crayon this suggests that the film has something to do with children, this already makes me feel attached to the film.
