HARD EIGHT CREDITS...

Seen as i cannot get any videos to play on Youtube for some reason, i shall just explain and post the actual video later when my internet decides to work! I just saw the opening credits for the movie Hard Eight and they managed to reallt catch my eye. I loved the simplicity of them, yet they were so effective. The use of a black blackground and then white typed text was really intriguing and slightlye eerie. I have to say though, the one element of the Hard Eight opening credits that i thought was brilliant and would definitely mention to the group was the pure silence whilst the titles rolled. This built the beginning of the film up exceptionally, but not giving away anything! I think this technique could work really well in our 2 minute introduction as we are hoping to get some dynamic shots, therefore i feel the titles should be quite simple. The use of silence would work really well as it could begin with no audio and then as the first shot appears, you hear the train gradually and as i step on, then the music comes in - building great tension and drawing awareness to the film overall!
