Group discoveries on title timelines in your genre

George Watkins

Due to us doing a re-make of a film with the same genre as we want our film to be so we decided that we should copy the film title order of this film which was Reservoir dogs but obviously just alter the wording fit for our film, here is the timeline of titles for the opening of reservoir dogs.

    So when making our film opening at the editing stage we will copy the title order that reservoir dogs have used however may change the colour, font and animation of the titles as Reservoir dogs is quite an old film.

 

    Another film title timeline I looked at with the same genre as us was the film 'Kingsman secret service'

    here is the opening to kingsman' title timeline

      

a

0   0:13 - MARV

     0:30 – (Middle East, 1997)

   

     0:51 – Twentieth Century Fox presents

     0:58 – in association with MARV

 

     1: 05 – a cloudy production    

 

 

i    Deliberately chose to do this film opening as well due to the lack of titles compared to Reservoir dogs as if the actors in our film did not want their names to be including in the film opening we would have to produce our titles in such an order as Kingsman but obviously include titles on editor, music, produced by, etc.
