Title Sequence ( Elizabeth Mensah-Tandoh )

A title sequence is the method by which cinematic films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members, or both, utilizing conceptual visuals and sound. It usually follows but should not be confused with the opening credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of superimposed text.

The first important facts i have learnt from my research title sequencing is the way the names of the people involved in the filming comes in various stages.I watched the beginning of different thriller films and two horror films to see if there was a difference on the layout or the stages of the credits.i felt this was important for me to analyze thriller films as they are under the same genre as the opening sequence of our film.

From the research i have done i have found out the different stages of the ways a opening title sequence come in,the order the cast names,the directors,the creators logo,who the film was associated with and whom the film is by.

One of the film i analyzed closely was the film obsessed.The reason for this being is i feel that target the same age category as we are.I found there is a sequence in which the films come in.The first element that was shown was the company 'Screen Gems' there logo was shown.The second was 'Rain forest film production'this was the second logo that was shown..

Then when the title sequence began to show both of the companies names appeared again.Screen gems presents obsessed.I wanted to find out more about the company and did some small research on both of the companies so that i was able to see what each company specialized in.Screen Gems is an American subsidiary company of Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group that has served several different purposes for its parent companies over the decades since its incorporation.Here is a small portion of some of the research i was able to find.
Rain forest films production tend to supported a lot of black African,American originated films.Such as Stomp the yard,This Christmas,Three can play that game.All the films i have listed are all well known films that Rain forest has produced.And as obsessed story line is about a successful hard working black man rain forest film production have had some production involved.


The following elements are the logos and the repetitions of the production names is the title of the film..

The second being the actor and actresses names.This is done to rises awareness to the audience who will be starring in the film.Although this is a short list of the title sequence in the beginning of the film.However there is much longer list of the individuals and people who participated in the making of the film.
Starting with the cast members names along side their real names.All of the people that were shown on the camera any time throughout the film are shown.Then followed by participants behind the scenes.Secondly being the co-producer,the the production mangers and department team.Then followed by assistants and supervisors that helped in particular areas.The the writing and script of the film and imagery of the scenery,costume and props for the actors and actresses.Then ending with the effects that are ended after filming,Such as the editors.visual effect mangers.

This is the list of the title sequence for the film Obsessed.Making sure that the title sequence for the both the beginning and end of the films i have included both so that it is easy to distinguish the difference between the two.
