In producing the title sequence for our film, vengeance, I think that we have used the conventions mentioned earlier quite successfully. We were able to effectively use non-digetic sound to show the fast pace convention of action thrillers. We also used credit titles in similar ways to action thrillers.
Also, we successfully challenged the convention of the main characters being males by having female main characters.

Overall, I believe that by using some conventions and challenging a particular convention of action thrillers, we were successful in making a recognizable action thriller title sequence.

In our title sequence for 'Vengeance', we followed the convention of thrillers by including mostly all of our titles over moving images.

Also, action thriller films conventionally feature titles over moving images. This is where there is some sort of action or event taking place in on screen whilst the title credits are appearing on screen.
For example in the title sequence for the film 'Gone Girl', where a lot of title credits either appeared over moving images or still images.

However, in our film, vengeance, we featured/intended to feature a main cast that is majority female. In doing this, we were deciding to challenge the conventions of action thrillers.

Another convention of action thrillers would be that it's common to use male characters to make up the majority of the main characters.
An example of this would be in the film, The Dark Knight. This is shown through the main protagonists and antagonists being majority males. This is with the exception of the main character's love interest/'damsel in distress' character.

Similarly, In the title sequence for our film, Vengeance, we used quite a fast paced non-digetic soundtrack. This was done because of inspiration from the conventions of action thrillers. Also, to set the fast pace that would be reflected throughout the film.

One convention would be fast paced non-digetic sound. Typically this is shown through a soundtrack or just music played non-digetically.
This is usually done to show the fast paced nature of action thriller films.
An example of this would be from the title sequence from the film 'Taking of Pelham 123'.

A title sequences' functions to achieve three different points.
Firstly, it can be used to set the mood for the rest of the film. For example, if a film had a title sequence that was fast paced, it's likely that the events that take place in the rest of the film will follow suit.

Secondly, a title sequence functions to draw the audience in to wanting to watch the rest of the film. This works so that the audience can see a small part of the film, hopefully enjoy or even question what they see and then want to keep watching.

Lastly, it works to show off the ownership of the film and who's made it. This is in the form of the actual titles and idents that can be seen during the sequence.
