I am very happy with the final produce for the The Walking Dead trailer. In the Crit my other peers complimented how well the footage and sound worked together in unison to create a very chilling and dramatic title sequence.
I tried to keep the font of the text as basic as possible to it didn't subtract from the footage however I don't think it maximized the genre intended so if I was going to revisit the project I'd experiment with different font. One of the other things mentioned was replacement of the last shot with a time-lapse of a watch hands spinning on the surface. I think a macro shot of an old fob watch would have worked very well as the final shot instead of a broken fence which I used.
Overall I am glad we were assigned this project of title sequences, as it had made me appreciate them a lot more than previously. I never before realised the complexity and importance that the Intro Title sequences has on the film. In summary the title sequence sets the tone of the film and prepares the viewers for what they are about to be involved in. If this is messed up and doesnt grab the audiences attention they could miss something key to the narrative of the film, therefore not getting the full experience the director wants to provide.
