To research the title sequences of my opening scene, I am going to be using two websites: Art of the Title and Watch the Titles. Watch the Titles is a database of opening and ending sequences to various forms of media. Much like Art of the Title, it includes movies, tv shows, and video games. Watch the Titles includes foreign films and student projects. However, not all of the opening sequences have videos attached. Some are only still images of the opening alongside a description of the movie. This website focuses more on the behind the scenes of title sequence development. There aren't a lot of opening sequences available, but there are plenty of interviews. The website has separate tabs to showcase title designers and studios.
Because of how limited the title sequence selection is, I'm not sure I'll be able to find an opening that matches my genre. Additionally, I think it would be more beneficial to get to visually watch the title sequences rather than try to understand through screenshots. I will most likely use Watch the Titles less than Art of the Title during my research.
Even though it won't be as helpful as Art of the Title, Watch the Title will give me insight into the often overlooked design behind making a title sequence. I may utilize it's "designers" tab to see if there is any information that could help me.
