1. Summarise the conventions of title sequences that were most important to this task

• titles showing the cast and crew (with respective roles)
• keeping with the genre, crime/drama, through the use of fonts and color schemes

2. How did your group plan to edit the title sequence? (consider timings, industry requirements etc). 

• Firstly we chose a font style,cracked, who suited the genre. We then chose a dark red color scheme to created the sense of blood-complimenting the genre.
• We then watched the clip and noted any appropriate places to add our titles. We looked for images/ movements that would be able to connect with the titles and look at transition from scene to scene.
• When adding the titles we needed to make sure that they were timed well so that they were on the screen long enough to been seen, but not too long that it detracted from the focus of the scene.
• In addition when adding effects to the titles/ movements we needed to make sure that they complimented the genre. we did this my including 'shaky' effects which would disorientate the audience.

 3. Explain the creative decisions made by your group.

• when creating the title sequence we wanted to keep in with the feel of the genre.
• How color/ fond would add to the genre
• Our creative decisions consisted of the location of the title, the effect and how it would connect with the action on the screen
• We made decisions by testing out all the possibilities before deciding on which one worked best.

4. How does your re-edit compare to the original?

• After watching the original back we noticed similarities and differences when comparing it to our re-edit.
• The original had a lot more titles but used few effects. In addition the titles would stay on the screen for a lot longer in the original
• In our we would use the effect tool a lot more in order to add the genre. 
• We noticed some similarities in the timing and positioning of the title in ours and the original- the sink scene.
• The original showed to us that you didn't need effects on every single title in order to make it more interesting as sometimes a static title allowed you to focus more on the action in the shot.
