Inspiration for Our Opening Titles

We wanted to do some research on current opining titles, to inspire ours. Originally we wanted the titles to appear either at the beginning or the end of our opening scene, but after some research we had a better idea.


Whilst looking at The Art of the Title we came accross the end credits for Sherlock Holmes. We really liked the effects of the sketchy looking clips and the way the footage went with the music playing over the top.

We also came accross some of the previous ideas for the end sequence which we liked as well. It linked to one of our original opening credits ideas of scanning across a floor plan for the cellar.

After seeing these we decided that we wanted effects to distinguish the flashbacks from the present day and motivated us to look for some music for our own opening.

When we began looking for music, we had to make sure it was royalty free, so we started by looking at royalty free music websites. We found a few piano pieces which sounded really good, but all disagreed on which we should ultimately use. Finally we decided on a piece of music we all thought would fit well with our opening. Although, we wanted it to sound a lot more sinister, so we added another piece of audio over the top, which sounds like low drones.
