This document contains descriptions of 9 frames from the opening title sequence of a film. Each frame is described in 1-2 sentences noting elements like characters, style, influences, and how each frame advances the narrative or introduces mystery. The overall style is described as unconventional, using silhouettes and abstract graphics to set an old 1970s tone and introduce the characters and their dynamic of a police officer chasing a "grifter".

This first frame that I have chosen is off the institution logo. This was created using after effects. One thing to note is that this looks very different from the original as the colours are quite smudged and it looks a bit more pixelated. Reason for this is that are whole opening sequence has the effect of portraying it in a very old 70's style.
This frame is a part of the begin of the opening title sequence. As well as setting the whole scene it shows how the 'Grifter' works in taking items from pedestrians. This is very much relate-able to the opening of 'Superbad', it shows a similar style where by the background and characters and chromakeyed.
This is the title of the film and arguable one of the main titles because it lets the audience now a lot by just reading it. In terms of font we used Titania which is very plain and simple that does not attract a lot of attention It helps because it is not restricted with any style and typically and work with any genre.
In regards to this frame we see the first encounter of both the police officer and grifter. As they are shown as silhouettes it represents a certain enigma which is not usually seen in opening sequences. This is quite unconventional and different which shows this film style is not the same as others.
This is a quite unique style as it is unconventional. Reason for that being said is the approach that has been used in interacting with the text has never been done before. Why we went with this is because it is something that one does not tend to see and we thought it would be unique. It should impress the audience as it looks very clean cut.
Here we see the return of the police character. This shows that he will not stop at anything but carry on until the culprit has been caught. This is quite common in many films but since we have gone for an abstract opening with silhouettes this can be visually seen in the opening sequence.
This shows the use of animation with the opening. This is quite heavily influenced by saul bass especially with the idea of lines. Even so since we went for quite of a catch me if you can opening sequence this is most visible in this bit. Reason as it incorporates the use of lines with that blue and black colour contrast.
This is quite a powerful frame in the opening as it moves on to a graphic match as well as bring up enigma codes. Much enigma is shown as it lets questions arise such as what happened to the culprit?, how will this work in the film? And what does it say about the characters personalities?
This is the final frame in the opening and it what occurs after the graphic match. It does cause some enigma as it gives a short glimpse of the lifestyle of one of the characters. It does shows some idea of collection and maybe this character is quite compulsive in the idea of what they need.
