- Titles on blank screen
- Titles on still images
- Titles over moving images
- Titles using animation or motion
Titles on a blank screen
- Most common type
- Low budget
- Simple institutional information
Examples are films like Psycho and Pulp Fiction.
Titles on still images
- Include hand drawn borders and other images
- More elaborate than a blank screen.
Examples are films like Wimbledon.
Titles over moving images
- Credit titles with moving image behind titles and has sound but no dialogue
- Served to offer a metaphorical or narrative thread
Examples are films like Rear Window or The Sixties.
Titles using animation or motion
- Text and titles become moving images
- Lots of digital technology
Examples are films like Casino Royale.
There are three categories of title sequences, these are:
- Narrative title sequences
- Discrete title sequences
- Stylized sequences
Narrative title sequences
Narrative title sequences starts the film as soon as the title sequence starts. This means that while the title sequence is happening, the plot is shown instantly. An example is one of my favorite movies of all time, The Shining.
Discrete title sequences
This is when the title is intergrated with moving images but the story or plot is unclear. An example of this is the title sequence of the film, Se7en.
Stylized movie sequences
This category of title sequence is basically the other two but combined into one. An example is the movie, The Taking of Pelham 123.
