Purpose of title sequences:
Title sequences are like when the curtain rises. It draws you into the movie and is very fascinating. It's a precious moment that cannot be wasted. It has to be memorable and true to the story. The movie cannot exist without the title sequence.
Zombieland:
Zombieland were very unique in making their title sequence. They used slow motion shots of zombies around the country killing different people. It was very graceful but at the same time was horrific. They used the titles to interact and show up in the scene. They kept the font very simple so it did not over power the actual film.
Blue Valentine:
Blue Valentine emotionally connect with the audience by being honest and taking you places that are hard to go. They wanted to show that although love is hurtful, it still exists. They took the lenze of the camera to make it out of focus and added emotional rhythmic music to it. They uses stills as well to create an emotive effect. The director got the actors to give to him to make the photos powerful. It was very experimental to put in mainstream cinema however it worked and created a very magical title sequence.
