Looking at Title Sequences.

Why does this appeal to you???
I chose Waterloo Road as a title sequence to look at as I think it is quite good because before the actual title sequence they preview what happened in the previous week's episode. I think this is a good technique to get the viewer interested as if they have misssed an episode there is a short clip to get you up-to-date with the series and I also think it is a good title sequence because it shows you the main characters (which are all teachers) and the setting, clips from the series that show it's based in a school. However the main thing that i think is missing from the opening title sequence is the names of the actors. Apart from that I think it is a good title sequence.


What colour is the text? Why?
Well as i have mentioned the title sequence doesn't include any text apart from the title, However the title is white but it is clever because it has been made up of students at desks, i think it it is quite clever how they have made the text out of the school desks, it links in well with the show, it hints about what it is about.


Does it fit in with the overall look of the sequence?
Yes, I think it does fit in quite well with the overall sequence because the sequence is all shots of the teacher characters in the show and the title that comes up at the end is a zoomed out version of all the students throwing paper aeroplanes etc. so i think this also indicates to the types of characters in the show.
