The font of the sequence varies on the genre and the colour of the font is usually white with a black background behind it to create a high contrast. 

However, titles on a blank screen were generally used because it's cheap, simple and uncomplicated thus allowing the creators to include information. 

Two examples of this kind of sequence are:
- Pulp Fiction
- Psycho]]> 2016-10-11 09:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/129728286 feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/129729838 2016-10-11 09:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/129729838 Titles On Still Images feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/129731546 Titles on still images are the development from the title on a blank screen. They are used historically to include hand-drawn borders or other images. In addition, titles on still images provide visual hints to the type of which the film title accompanies. However the development also clashed with the cast and crew meaning longer sequences were needed. Even though titles on still images were the next stage of sequences as a whole they weren't very common.

An example of this kind of sequence is:

The titles were also paired with sound but not necessarily dialogue.

The effect of using titles over moving images gave the metaphors for the film or information (usually narrative) to introduce the tone for the film.

Some examples of this kind of sequence are:
- Rear Window
- Legally Blonde ]]> 2016-10-12 23:48:14 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130298655 feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130304216 2016-10-13 00:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130304216 feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130304359 2016-10-13 00:50:32 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130304359 Titles Using Animation Or Motion feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130304518 Lastly, titles created by animation or motion graphics became hugely popular within the 1990s. As it grew in popularity it became part of the film experience.

However, the only slight problem people had when it came to making sequences with animation or motion is that it required lots of digital technology and required tons of knowledge based around stylised editing.

A few examples of this kind of sequence are:
- James Bond / Casino Royale
- Catch Me If You Can]]> 2016-10-13 00:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130304518 feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130305256 2016-10-13 00:57:57 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130305256 feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130305391 2016-10-13 00:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130305391 What I Like feliciamillseh https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130305678 Personally, I prefer title sequences using animation or motion.

The reason for this being is that I somewhat have my own experience with stylised editing already after self-learning After Effects and whatnot.

Furthermore, titles using animation or motion allows you to be creative through various ways. After looking for other examples such as The Taking of Pelham 123 & The Black Swan, titles using animation or motion can either be seen as narrative or stylised and the combination of the two create an effect on viewers leaving them wanting more.]]> 2016-10-13 01:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/feliciamillseh/ea4ayxswxlwi/wish/130305678
