Planning our title sequence...

GENRE
The genre for our title sequence will be crime with a gangster essence to it, we chose this as we thought it would an original option and because we felt it would give us a lot of freedom. As there was many angles we could put upon our title sequence, we chose to do it in the form of the inspector figuring out the cases. As a group we have decided to explore many conventions of a crime genre, such as using certain props for e.g. using a folder that symbolises the criminals past record. Another prop we would like to use for representation of the crime genre would be that of a big white board with images from crime scenes and information all over it, to indicate a surrealism to an actual investigators office. Also we want to venture into looking deeply at the cinematography and mise-en-scene that go into the title sequences of crime movies, such as lighting, body language and camera angles.

TITLE
The name of our title sequence will be that of "PI" (Private Investigator), this is because we feel like this title has a sense of realism as if this character could exist. The title was chosen as it was simplistic and it got straight to the point, we felt that this would make the film more relatable to people. As they would not be confused by hidden meanings they were informed from the start what the film would entail. Also we felt this made the film more relatable to other films within this genre as for example James Bond uses "007" it indicates the characters occupation and what will follow from there work becomes obvious to audiences.

CHARACTERS
The characters that we have chosen for this title sequence are that of the inspector and the criminal in which he will be investigating. We have decided to use a man to be the inspector just because we think this will give the character more dominance and a more rougher edge to the characters appearance and personality. We have chosen the criminal to be a man as well just because we feel that this will make the characters play off upon each other much more. As they will be equally physically strong and they will be naturally competitive due to them both being male. We felt that choosing both male leads will also create more tension between the two therefore giving the viewers more anticipation and making them insecure about how the film will unfold.whereas if we chose a woman inspector or criminal we feel as if a woman could hold a lot of strength over the man therefore rendering him weaker. Yet we want both lead roles to be equally as this will we make the plot less predictable.

NARRATIVE
The narrative of our title sequence is that our investigator re-opens a cold case and sort of task is apart of his normal day to day life. What he does not realise is that he is about to investigate a world that shouldn't be tampered with. The people in which he is about to investigate into find out that he knows what they are up to. So due to this the gangsters are all trying to kill the investigator, so he will be forever silent. They then kidnap him due to many failed attempts, they toture him so that he will give them everything he has found out about them. He does not let go of the most important pieces of information and with the gangsters thinking they have forever silenced him they let him go. The investigator has no real fear of the gangsters so he takes his chances and gives all the information his has of them over to the police. But the police are only able to bring down a few of the gangsters and the ones in which they are able to bring down are not the worst therefore justice has not been served. Meaning there needs to be sequels to this film that will divulge much further into this case and the individuals within it.
