Research Into A Title Sequence Designer
Saul Bass
He began his time in Hollywood doing print work for film ads, until he collaborated with filmmaker Otto Preminger to design the film poster for his 1954 film Carmen Jones. Preminger was so impressed with Bass’s work that he asked him to produce the title sequence as well.

The Man with the Golden Arm (1955)
The Seven Year Itch (1955)
Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)

The Man With The Golden Arm
Anatomy Of Murder
In both of these opening title sequences created by Saul Bass they both have a similar typography. on each slide of the sequence we see something move and then there is either a persons name in or around what has just appeared onto the screen.
"My initial thoughts about what a title can do was to set mood and the prime underlying core of the film's story, to express the story in some metaphorical way. I saw the title as a way of conditioning the audience, so that when the film actually began, viewers would already have an emotional resonance with it."
This is a quote what Saul Bass said about the design of title sequences and what he thought of them.

Evidence Of Researching Your Chosen genre
Horror
Horror films are unsettling movies that strive to elicit the emotions of fear, disgust and horror from viewers. They often feature scenes that startle the viewer through the means of macabre and the supernatural, thus frequently overlapping with the fantasy and science fiction genres. Horrors also frequently overlap with the thriller genre.
Horror films deal with the viewer's nightmares, hidden worst fears, revulsions and terror of the unknown. Although a good deal of it is about the supernatural, if some films contain a plot about morbidity, serial killers, a disease/virus outbreak and surrealism, they may be termed "horror".
Let Men In Trailer (2010)
Plots written within the horror genre often involve the intrusion of an evil force, event, or personage, commonly of supernatural origin, into the everyday world. Themes or elements often prevalent in typical horror films include ghosts, torture, gore, werewolves, ancient curses, satanism, demons, vicious animals, vampires, cannibals, haunted houses, zombies and masked serial killers. Conversely, stories of the supernatural are not necessarily always a horror movie as well.
What is considered to be a horror film has varied from decade to decade. These days, the term "horror" is applied to films which display more explicit gore, jump scenes/scares or supernatural content (Wes Craven's New Nightmare, A Tale of Two Sisters, Saw films, The Strangers, The Ring, Session 9).
Early horror movies are largely based on classic literature of the gothic/horror genre, such as Dracula, Frankenstein, The Phantom of the Opera, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. More recent horror films continue to exploit the monsters of literature.

Film producers that will distribute our film 'Deadline' are production companies such as:
Paramount, Dreamworks SKG, 20th Century Fox and Universal Studios.
These types of film production companies would distribute our film because they are the production companies behind films such as The Ring, Predator, Cloverfield and Jurassic Park. These films were some of the biggest and best horror films that these film companies have created and our film Deadline will be in the high rankings with these films.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LJEPkc4ztE- Was not able to embed the video clip.
The clip i have chosen is the intro credits to George. A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead. Whats different about this opening is the music. For a horror film, the music seems more joyful than what it should be. This could suggest that the film will be different to the traditional zombie film. But the lyrics do suggest a sick and violent world. This intro tells us a story of what has happened to the world from differnet news clips This gives the opening sequence a very realistic feel. It also gives us an idea of what to expect in the film. The story line in this film is based on around 10 survivors held up in a mall. Throughout the film, they are trying to find out a way to escape to a boat that one of the survivors owns. This becomes the main narrative, with mishaps throughout the film. This opening sequence leaves us with the questions what will happen? and what decisions they will make. Typical codes and conventions that are seen in this opening sequence. We see the text and its in the style of blood, this showing the death. Also showing what it is represented with zombies. This is the same again with the images that are shown. We see random killings from news bulletins, this being what is represented with zombie films.
What works well in this opening sequence is the music that goes with it. It has a heavy sound throughout it all. This helps show the genre that this film is. What is also good about the opening sequence, is the way the credits appear. This has not been done before, so it helps make the film stand out. We can see that this will be a black comedy with some of the clips that appear. This helps us understand that this is not just a serious film. This, just like Dawn of the Dead, helps us understand and what to expect in later parts of the film. What i like about this is that we are not introduced to any of the main characters. This leaves us the question when we see them, who will die or survive?

Newer title vs older title sequences
The opening credits are the first five minutes.
The original version of Dawn of the Dead is completely different than the 2004 remake. In this sequence, we see people in a t.v station. There are people arguing over something, but we are not sure what yet. There is loads of manic behavior, but we are still not sure of what the fuss is all about. When we compare this to the remake, its a lot slower. This helps keep you intrigued as you are not sure what they are saying. There aren't many typical conventions usually conveyed in a zombie film in this sequence. The only relating feature would be the music. It suits the scene well as everything else is also slow.

This is the remake to the clip above. This is so different in every department compared to the original. With this clip there is music in the scene, this giving it a very fast feel. This is supported by the fast cuts of the images in the opening sequence. The text in this sequence also shows the typical codes and conventions. Its a bloody text and blood is represented with zombies.
