ANALYSIS OF CREDITS CLIPS

Fresh Meat Opening

The opening title sequence to the TV series 'Fresh meat' has a variety of similarities to what we have as our initial ideas of our opening credits. Firstly the use of integrated credits is what we discussed and decided as a group would be best suited to our opening and here in this clip it clearly demonstrates this. For example the use of different text fonts to fit the object on which it is on, such as the stereo. In our opening one of our ideas is to have credits written on objects around the bathroom, and by using a variety of fonts on the objects it makes them look more integrated, creating more of a sense of verisimilitude.
Much like in this sequence one of our ideas is to explore using different objects and integrating the credits into the objects, which then leads to the clip being built of a sequence of household objects, giving the audience a feel for the atmosphere and focus of the program. For example here the use of the old TV, hole in the wall covered with photos, a video games characters on the cupboard, overall creates the affect of integrated credits which hints at the genre.

Orange Is The New Black Opening

The opening sequence for orange is the new black again has some similarities to what we are aiming to create however has a large amount of differences as it follows a different feel in terms of content. Firstly much like what we are creating there is no narrative to the opening, which from our research at the BFI talk we have seen that many successful openings have very little narrative but hint at themes and genres. Unlike Fresh Meat , here they show the characters in the series , showing a mass of people who are all doing the same thing, yet all showing different characteristics, a bit like a representation of prison life itself, which is what the series is about.
By looking at this opening it is also a demonstration of another use of sound. Here they have used one sound track , which relates to the overall message presented and atmosphere created, however because we are wanting to create a thriller from research it is clear to see that sound tracks (songs) aren't used, as we want to build suspense.
