Doctor who title sequence

For my second title sequence i have chosen Doctor Who. The reason why i have chosen this one is because usually in title sequences you see the main characters faces and find out who they are and a bit about their personality. But with the Doctor Who title sequence we only find out the names of the Actor who plays Doctor Who 'Matt Smith' and the name of the actress who plays his sidekick 'Karen Gillan'. The title of the show already lets us know who the main character must be by the name of 'Doctor Who'.The title sequence makes it obvious to the audience that the genre of the show is science fiction.




The title sequence shows a police box flying thorough what looks like a time portal or a black hole.This show the audience that the genre is science fiction. The police box is getting hit by lightning while it goes through the portal. The portal takes us on a kind of roller coaster ride with all of the different directions it keeps taking. The police box makes the audience feel as though we should follow it.Also from the way the police box is flying through the portal it gives the audience a clue that the genre is science fiction.The text is introduced by a strike of lightning and then it appears in the middle of the screen and then disappears by making the audience feel as though we are going into it. The font looks like it is made out of shiney steel look to it and it also has a kind of block solid feel to it. The title 'Doctor Who' is also in this style but there is a DH inbetween doctor who in the same of the police box.

The Inbetweeners Opening Title Sequence Analysis

One of the title sequences i have chosen to write about is TheInbetweeners. The reason for this is because it is differentfrom other title sequences i have researched.

This one has a cartoon effect and also it doesn't run smoothly like a flowing picture, it looks as though separate pictures have been taken to create a stop motion effect. It is also just in black and white although it dose flash brief colours. It is very simple and easy to follow or understand,it isn'ttoo long either. This title sequence just shows the four maincharacters in the show. There is a lot of movement going on with the backgrounds as the pattens keep changing and so do the characters. The background consists of stars/stripes and circles. Also the music beat goes with the changing of the characters really well. The music is high tempo and up beat witch makes if fun. The title sequence introduces eachcharacter separately and right at the end they come together along with the title of the show.

Continuity sequence

Continuity Sequence

The main features of our continuity sequence had to be somebody opening a door, someone walking across a room and a conversation between two people. one of the rules was to stay on the right side of the 180 degree line, which i think our group achieved. The conversation could be about anything so we chose Si Hin [who plays a girls]to say to Charlotte that he [she] was in love with her and that he was really a man. we tried to get the shocked reaction from Charlotte to get a dramatic effect although it was supposed to be funny as well.AS a group i think that we all worked well together as we have never worked with each other before.The only problem that we came across was that we didn't film the part whereCharlotte say "What!" properly or it wasn't uploaded properly to the computer. Another issue we had was the eye line. From where Charlotte and Si Hin were being filmed their eye linewasn't matching, so it looked as though they wasn't looking ateach other.we then had to film that again the next day.
