Title Task

For This task we had to analyse film opening title sequences on Art of the Title and talk about the length of the titles for the production cast, actors and directors on screen. for this task I am using the opening for Captain America; Civil War.
 
Captain America: Civil War - Main Titles from Michael Burke on Vimeo.

All of the titles have the same font and style, they are a shiny silver font which is on top of a dark cracked concrete backdrop.

From 00:00 to 00:03 the directors of the film are on screen.


 

From 00:04 to 00:06 the screenplay writers of the film are shown.



From 00:07 to 00:09 the producer is displayed on screen



From 00:10 to 00:17 the executive producers is on screen displayed over 3 frames
From 00:18 to 00:20 the makers of the Captain America comics are shown


From 00:21 to 00:23 the co-producer is displayed on screen


From 00:24 to 00:26 the associate producer is shown followed by a tracking motion of the camera compared to the normal jump cut.


From 00:27 to 00:29 the director of photography is on screen


From 00:30 to 00:32 the production designer is shown


From 00:33 to 00:35 the editors are shown on screen


From 00:36 to 00:38 the costume designer is displayed


From 00:39 to 00:41 the visual effects supervisor is shown on screen.


From 00:42 to 00:44 the visual effects producer is displayed


From 00:45 to 00:47 the music editor is shown on screen


From 00:47 to 00:49 the music supervisor is displayed.

From 00:49 to 00:52 the Casting crew is shown

From 00:52 to 01:40 all the actors are shown (few examples)
From 01:41 to 01:44 the Production company is on screen
The main title is then shown on screen from 01:44 to 01:49

From this film opening I have learnt that a opening sequence doesn't need to be titles that are on top of live action footage but can be fully edited. This opening sequence is good as that font stands out well from the back ground the spacing between each titles is just enough so that you can read and so that you don't get bored staring at it. But it is very uncommon that a film opening sequence has the film title at the end.
