For this task, we were given the opening sequence of the tv drama 'Dexter' without sound or titles are were asked to add titles in the way that we thought would be similar to the original piece.
1. Summarise the conventions of title sequences that were most important to this task:
-It was important that the titles were more or less the same throughout
-We had to have the titles easily legible, making sure the colours stand out from the backgrounds
2. How did your group plan to edit the title sequence?
-We decided we had to create titles to match the genre of TV Crime Drama, and we therefore decided to have the titltes in a red colour.
-We decided upon several names to add into the project at timed intervals
-We planned to add more titles in the end but ran out of time before we could add them in
3. Explain the creative decisions made by your group
-We chose the titles to be a red colour as it connotes themes of blood, anger and danger, which are relevant to the genre
-In our group we decided to try to add titles to match the visuals on screen, for example we added in a title for the time that blood was dripping into the sink, which was very symbolic and stood out well on the white background
-We chose to have the titles with effects, making them fade in and out, as well as a growth effect at the end
4. How does your re-edit compare to the original?
-Our edit was similar to the original and i think it is therefore successful
-We had similar fonts and colours, as well as sizes and placement of the titles
-We saw that the dexter titles were better placed in time, as it was edited to both aural and visual aspects of the sequence
-Some of our titles were extremely similar to the original, such us the title in the sink as the blood drips down
-Although we had the right style of title, the original had many more titles than ours, and we did not credit most of the people related to the project that are legally required to credit, such as the author of the 'Dexter' book
