These credits are some of my favourite film credits of all time. They are incredibly creative and they work extremely well, holding the interest through the entire credits. Admittedly they are ending credits, but I think that they are suitable to analyse for opening credits, as they complete the same purpose. What I really like about these credits are they way that they show bits of the action and then pause it, change the image to look like parchment, throw in a credit and then carry on. We used this technique in the credits for one of our edits of the preliminary task and it looked extremely cool and stylish.
However, as with Skyfall we cannot do this in our opening sequence, as we have live action and this is partly animated. In a way I wish that we could have more time to add an animated titles sequence in afterwards, as I thik we could do this in a very exciting and interesting way inspired by these examples I have been analysing. The font in this isn't really what we are going for either, as the old style, handwritten font is good for period films, but not necessarily for modern action films set in the present.
Overall there isn't a lot that I can take away from analysing this titles sequence, as I can't do the font or the animation, but I thought I'd share it as this is a good example of a very strong titles sequence, but not one that we are going for. It isn't the right style and we can't afford to use up some of the time on the animation, which is a shame, but if I were to make the full movie then I would definitely take some inspiration from this titles sequence.
