Here is me interviewing the person behind creating the Teen Wolf title sequences. The company is called 'Scatter light Studios', and the person is called Chris Billig. He replied to my questions through Gmail. I'm really happy with the interesting responses and I've learnt new things from it!
1) What was it like creating the opening title sequences?
It was awesome creating the main title sequence for TW. Jeff Davis is such a wonderful creative partner who allowed me to not only create the main title for season 2, but fought to make sure we could update the main title every single season after that until the end. In our first conversation we talked about inspiration together which lead to the creative approach you see in the main title for season 2. After we established the style each season we would look at what was to come in order to lead the changes in our creative.
2) Why didn't season 1 ever have a title sequence?
I’m not sure why season 1 didn’t have a main title or an amended main title, but I do know that Jeff demanded a new main title for season 2 as part of his willingness to do more episodes.
3) The titles for season 2-5 are studio based, why was season 6 just footage from the show?
Season 6 was a tribute to everything in TW and therefore in order to accomplish that we decided season 6 should be footage from the show that would could stylize in our edit. It didn’t seem right to try to mash together footage from old main titles along with show footage. With it being a tribute to everyone's hard work I was really happy with the final seasons main title.
4) Stiles had two different studio sequences, one with his jeep (season 2-3), and one with his crime board (season 4-5). As a guess, was it because his character development needed updating?
Each season I tried to create new moments for all of the cast members. Some of the more iconic imagery we kept just based on everyone loving it so much and some we moved past in order to give each cast member a deeper story. So yes the character development was always part of the creative process in pushing the main title further.
5) What was it like working with the music composed by Dino Meneghin for the title sequence? And how did it reflect what was on screen?
When I created the main title for season 2 it was edited to a piece of music I thought was appropriate for the tone. While the music we used for the edit helped lead the inspiration I was happy with what Dino created for the main title. Every season the outcome felt great and I’m glad to have been part of such a fun project.
This article was a very interesting read. Its about how a TV theme tune can be great. It says we all have are most cherished theme tune and maybe even loved more than the actual show. It mentions EastEnders, Only Fools And Horses and Murder She Wrote. These three have great memorable theme tunes. It mentions that its crucial for the composers who score the theme tunes must fit the type of program. I agree with this completely, as its so important to get the right feel and emotion to embrace when watching an opening titles sequence. As you want to get sucked in and enjoy it.
It says humming to theme tunes or having a ring tone. The Wimbledon theme is memorable as it states - "If you find yourself humming along to the Wimbledon theme".
Article 2 What makes a great TV theme song?
This was another interesting read. This article was Rachel Blum-Jose. She didn't plan to write this as she just wanted to list her favourite theme tunes, but thinking in the middle of the night she wanted to write an article all about it. She writes about different types of theme tunes, which that could be instrumentals or lyric music. She then lists all her favourite theme tunes, like Six Feet Under, Friday Night Lights, Fringe etc. She says what she likes about them, if there nostalgic, catchy and effective.
Its an interesting article and its good to find out what another person things of opening music. I'd never heard of any of the theme tunes she listed, but she said good things about them. Article 3
This is the best article I've read so far. Its 15 TV title sequences that sum up a show's theme. I love how for every sequence its listed below, format, mood and music. For example izombie has a colourful mood, its an animation format and the music is by Deadboy and the Elephantmen. Then it explains how it reflect the show. It does for all 15 titles, I really like this as its clear to read and has short simple answers. I agree with the list as all the sequences show that they relate to the show. First on the list is Game of Thrones. I've never watched it but I've heard lots of things about it and the music is truly wonderful and I can tell from just watching the footage it suits it very well.
In title sequences, theme tunes are so important. Not just in title sequences, but theme tunes in general, if that's for a commercial on TV or even character themes within a program. From a music point of view the theme tune is really important as it tells a story. To hit and accomplish the right emotion to create the correct feeling to the viewer. This depends on the program itself. For example, Teen Wolf has a very modernised urgency feeling, due to it being all about teenager life in a school. Also the use of instruments tells the story which includes a drum kit, electric guitar, strings etc. The pacing and the length of the music is very important as well, because you don't what it to be too short or too long. Personally I think a theme tune for a title sequence should be roughly 30-40 seconds long. That's enough time to introduce the characters/actors and get the viewer interested and get sucked in.
A theme tune has to be memorable. This is very important as you want the viewer to go away and hum along to it, also to get stuck in there head all day. If this happens the theme tune has done its job. A good example of this is the Doctor Who theme, very catchy and memorable. Also as that piece of music has been around since 1963. Its the consent galloping rhythm that's continues through out the entire track, that's what makes the theme stay interesting. It sounds very Sci-Fi and suits the music very well. Another example is the EastEnders theme, everyone knows it. The unique "thud, thud, thud" at the start of the track. I don't watch the show but still know exactly where the music comes from. I think the show Death In Paradise has a very catchy theme tune. Its a detective drama show on a Caribbean island. The use of different percussion and trumpets complements each other in harmony and makes it sound really bouncy. Makes you want to dance to it and move you body. The music sounds really warm and happy, this is great as the show is set in a hot climate. Personally every time I hear that theme tune it gets stuck in my head for hours.
Now there's programs out there that don't have an opening titles sequence. The Sit-Com show Outnumbered doesn't have one. It doesn't have a opening theme tune, but has a closing theme tune. I still don't know why they didn't include one, as I would be very interested. There's very short title sequences out there. For example the comedy show Miranda has a 12 seconds opening. I think its very effective. Its got a simple drum beat and an electric guitar. The music is very happy and it defiantly gets you into the right mood of comedy.
Researching top 10 theme tunes, the one that always comes up somewhere in the list or even first in the list is the Simpsons theme. This is a very nostalgic theme as I used to watch the Simpsons as a child. The music is composed by Danny Elfman and has a version done by Hans Zimmer. The music is known all over the world and has a very unique melody, Its very extremely catchy and certainly has been stuck in my head for years.
The Musketeers opening titles sequences has been an instant favourite of mine. I love the look of this title sequence as it looks very old and grubby. Ink, paint and dirt splashes coming on screen. Also the use of fire really sets the sequence. The whole video reminds me of a old envelop seal, which is being in the process of being pushed down and drying. As its set in the past, it really does suit this tone. But the number one thing I love about this title sequence the most is the use of colour. Its so colourful and pleasing to look at, every time I watch it I think that.
The music is amazing and is composed by Murray Gold. I love his work as he composed the Doctor Who score since 2005. The way he composed the music really makes you feel like you've travelled back in time and revisiting Spain in 1630. The use of solo violins, strings and the content drum hits, really makes you want to continuing watching. Also as an extra note, the track is in "D". Which I think is interesting as Murray Gold does like to use this key across other work and other shows he's does, like the 11th Doctor's theme in Doctor Who, which is also in "D". I think its because its quite a happy note and really does impact the viewer to the feeling Murray wanted to accomplish.
On my YouTube channel I made a title sequence on Doctor Who in the style of the Musketeers. I tried my best to copy the editing and the transitions. Although I used footage from the program and the Musketeers was shot in a studio, but I feel that I did a good job in replicating the best I can. So from this I've demonstrated I've understood the editing techniques and made it look convincing that I've made a professional looking crossover video. In my video I started off with the TARDIS flying by in space with some flames and an ink splash. The who video I carried on using these effects as I felt it looked like the Musketeers titles.
Another crossover video I did is a Sherlock title sequence in Teen Wolf style. I really like what I did with this one. I took footage from Sherlock and edited it to look like the Teen Wolf opening titles. This one was a little easier then the Doctor Who/The Musketeers titles, as the Teen Wolf season 6 titles was just footage from the actual show, not studio based specifically filmed footage.
I love the Teen Wolf title sequences as I've mentioned in other blog posts. I started my video with introducing the main character as it does in the Teen Wolf one with Scott. I put a few shots of Sherlock at the beginning. When it reveals the actors name 'Benedict Cumberbatch' I speeded up the shot and slowed it down. This shot was a scene of Sherlock pointing a gun at the screen. I feel this worked really well, as this is an effect used in the Teen Wolf titles, Not in the season 6 titles but in the season 4-5 version. Now I had to introduce the next character, John Watson. Yet again, this effect isn't in the season 6 version but in the season 3 version. When John is walking towards the camera, it becomes jumpy as its off beating the drums within the music. I love this effect because it makes it more interesting and to cut time as well. Also I used a cutting mask and put the text behind John a little to make it look like John is coming at you. Same sort of editing through out the whole video. I also added a few smoke/mist effects onto the footage, just to make it more atmospheric and dramatic. Then to reveal the text at the end of the title sequence. I used the same font as the Teen Wolf one, I feel this looks really convincing.
The last one I'm going to mention is a Teen Wolf title sequence in the style of Drake and Josh. I really enjoyed making this one as I felt it worked really well. Drake and Josh are step brothers and they get up to all kinds of trouble, same thing with Scott and Stiles from Teen Wolf. Although there not brothers, they act like it. I used to watch Drake and Josh as a kid, so its got a very nostalgic feel to me. The Drake and Josh titles use a lot of clipping masks as all the footage is in the big arrows flying by. The colour scheme is blue and green and the music is called 'I Found a Way' written by Drake Bell.
At the start of my video we have the text spelling 'Scott and Stiles' instead of 'Drake and Josh'. This is a quick transition as both names come from different directions coming together with the arrows. Both names are different colours just like the original. We see Scott and Stiles in the same shot clipped masked inside the big arrow. As the music carries on we see more shots of the two characters. We get to a point where we have to introduce the actors. I must admit mine looks a bit sloppy, but I found it really hard to make it smooth with the text inside the arrow panning along. The ending then says the title, and we get another shot of Scott and Stiles as the camera pans out slowly as the video comes to an end.
I'm really happy with this one, as this time the footage actually matches the type of comical genre. You get a joyful emotion watching it. So this video demonstrates that I have tried to replicate the editing techniques and transitions, It also shows I understand the post production in the editing.
This top 15 has a mixture of different title sequences. I've only heard of two of them which are, The Simpsons and Star Trek.
The YouTube channel 'WatchMoJo.com' has done a whole video on title sequences. This was interesting watch as all of the opening titles are very poplar around the world. But unfortunately for me I only recognised one of the titles and that's Sherlock. I've already written about the Sherlock opening titles on another blog post, so i was really happy about it being included on WatchMoJo's top 10. As for the other titles, I have never heard of any of them. I feel this is disappointing as there are so many other better ones out there than the ones they included. My personal favourites, which I haven't seen on any top 10's are Teen Wolf, Primeval, The Musketeers, Merlin etc.
So the other week I posted out a questionnaire as part of my primary research. I got eleven replies and had a mixture of different feedback. I would've liked more responses on it but I think eleven is a nice number to work with. I had three female responses and eight male. Half of the responses where 18 years or under and the rest were over 18.
It was actually a really interesting questionnaire to get the results from. Eight people said title sequences were important and three said maybe. My favourite question I asked, and probably the one I've been looking forward to hearing the most and that's - "What is your favourite title sequence?". I knew three of them, Only Fools and Horses, Sherlock and Teen Wolf. I know these three all have brilliant title sequences and great music. The next question is an intresting one, "How long should a title sequence last?", eight said yes and three said no. I'm thinking, how can anyone skip a title sequence? But that's just me, and everyone has there own opinion.
The last question I wrote was the most technical, I said - "What do you prefer in a opening title sequence", I gave them a choice of four things. One with computer generated effects like Doctor Who, one with specifically filmed footage in studio like Teen Wolf, one with footage from the actual program and text like Friends, and finally footage from the program with transitions, overlays and effects like Sherlock. It was really interesting to find the results to this one. In the end it was a draw between, footage from program with text, and footage from the program with transitions, overlays and effects. My personal favourite is the Teen Wolf one, where everything is filmed specifically for the opening titles in a studio. Only two people agreed with me on that one.
If I was to try this again I would gather more people to fill it out. Maybe I could of posted it on my Twitter page and hoped for the best, or maybe even my YouTube channel with over 3,000 subscribers.
Text is just as important as the footage and the music. The text can give us names of the actors, writers and the title of the program. Every text is different in every title sequence, some may be bold, thin, italic, big, small etc. Everyone one has a meaning to the show. For example if it was a horror TV show, the text would have shadows and might be big and bold to represent the fact of it being overwhelming and frightening. Also if it was a futuristic program, the text might be shinny, silver and metallic to get the feel of space and the the big why'd universe.
The text has to be put in the right place within the title sequence, it cant be just dropped anywhere. When the first actor comes on screen, then put the actors name next to it. Also positioning of the text is important to, to have it slightly to the right or left, top or bottom are all things the editor would have to think about. What ever it takes to make it smoother, flow better and more pleasing to the eye.
Every show has there own text font. For example Teen Wolf has a bold italic font, which has tight spacing in between the text, so every letter is touching each other. All the text is very dirty looking and looks like its been scratched serval times by Werewolves. Also another example is, the Sherlock font . All upper case, black and has a bold text. It looks very grubby, as it suits the urban styled look of London.
The font chosen doesn't have to be just on the title sequence, it can be on posters, trailers and merchandise etc. It makes it instantly more recognisable to the person. Also its got to mean something to the show, it cant be any old text.
The Teen Wolf title sequence is one of my favourites, due to it being first on my list. The music and the footage really creates the emotions and the atmosphere. So to get a basic feel of what this series is like, its Werewolves and the supernatural set in an American high school called 'Beacon Hills'. Where there's violence, relationships and a constant threat. Which could be anything supernatural. Characters come and go through out the seasons, but in season 3 the main characters are Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, Allison Argent, Lydia Martins and Derek Hale. These characters all have a part in the opening title sequence. This title sequence was filmed specifically for the opening titles. All filmed in a black studio, with added effects included in post production. So the opening titles open with a sudden "Thud Thud, Thud Thud". Quickly revealing transitions from Wolf to Scott McColl opening his eyes. Once this has finished the music begins properly, with a repeating pattern of strings, as follows - 'G, G, A, A#'. This creates a great feel of urgency as you immediately get sucked in. Also a drum kit is present as it makes it a lot more modernised as it tracks along, with a simple beat and a constant cymbal hitting. With Scott McCall rising out of the mist revealing a dark atmospheric forest. This creates a mysterious feel that suddenly we realise that there's going to be a lot of danger, undercover and hiding in the shadows. As Scott is the first character to be shown, we assume that he's the main focus of the series. As well there appears the actors name, revealing 'Tyler Posey' with the Teen Wolf font .The font type is very appealing as it looks very grubby and appears to have a few Werewolves slashes on it. Its all in upper case and is slightly italic, with all the words tightly close together. Moving on, we have Scott kissing Allison. As this show is about teenagers of course one of the main focuses is relationships. This inclusion is a massive part of seasons 1, 2 and 3 as it focuses on these two characters and their relationship. As they stop kissing and Scott goes out of shot, it zooms out slightly to reveal Allison holding and aiming a bow and arrow at Scott's position. This I really like because in the show Allison's family are Werewolf hunters. Its in her family blood, she's being trained to defend herself and kill Werewolves. What I really like about this title sequence is the use of 'clipping masks'. As the text 'Crystal Reed' appears on screen, its then briefly put behind a layer, which is when Allison pulls back the bow. This is a really nice touch as it feels not only the footage and music works together, but also the text as it feels like its part of the imagery. Next is not a character inclusion, its more of a 'filler'. We have hands reaching out of the dirt and the ground; top and bottom. In the show there's a lot of burying bodies and coming back to life moments. As its a supernatural show this would be expected. The reason we have fillers in this title sequence is because it gives us a break, makes it less crammed together and gives us a chance to process the information that appears on screen.
Now we've cut straight to the third character appearance. I really like this part as it looks visually stunning and very atmospheric. We have Stiles and his jeep. Just as a little reference, Stiles loves his jeep and said to Lydia when it broke down, "I will never abandon this jeep ok?" Even if people say its a tatty old piece of junk. The jeep is a huge part of the series and is instantly recognisable to any Teen Wolf fan. Scott is Stiles's best friend and they go off and solve supernatural murders and investigations behind the back of the police. Every superhero needs a gadget or superpower, for example The Doctor has his TARDIS, Captain America has his shield and Stiles has his blue jeep.
So, we see Stiles's jeep in the centre shining the head lights brightly. Then Stiles comes walking beside it and then in front revealing a silhouette of him. I love the transitions used here, as its jumps 4 times within the harmony of the music, which in this case the drum pattern goes off beat and bouncy. When it jumps for the fourth time the text on screen saying 'Dylan O'Brien' appears behind Stiles as its a 'clipping mask'. It makes it look like he's coming at us and looks very 3D.
The next part shows a hand with claws resting on Allison's shoulder as she turns her head and see's it. I like this because it shows, or rather what it doesn't show, whats lurking around the corner in the shadows getting the feel of horror. This part is another filler as it spaces the title sequence out.
Now it cuts to the next character appearance where we see Derek. I like this part as it shows a lot of anger and screaming pain, which is also a massive part of his character and is cleverly shown as part of the title sequence. Every Werewolf is different, but as a person, Derek keeps his anger as an 'anchor' to stop him shifting into a werewolf on a full moon. This is shown perfectly on the titles as he's letting out all the rage he keeps locked inside of him and in-bracing the power of the werewolf. The scene is sped up then immediately slowed down into slow motion as he screams. It makes it a lot more dramatic and cinematic, which is always very pleasing to the eye. The actors name 'Tyler Hoechlin' is also present to the right of him.
Right at the end we have the Teen Wolf logo as the music comes to a stop and fades out. Leaving the viewer wanting to watch more and find out what's going to happen next.
2) Doc Martin
The Doc Martin title sequence is very effective and very different from others. The whole sequence is a time laps of Cornwall and was all specifically filmed for the titles. It starts of with a sun rise and then fades into the next clip and so on. The whole sequence is panning to the left, which works really well as its like going through the day. You get a mixture of different clips such as harbours, rock pools, fields, standing stones and the sea. The second to last clip is a sun set which fades into the actual location of the show "Port Wenn" and the time laps comes to an end. The music is cleverly merged in with the scenes by having more of an organic feel to the music which matches the footage of nature. By having a piano, a acoustic guitar, strings and natural sounding percussion defiantly fits it. The names of the actors fade on screen located in the bottom centre, as well as the Doc Martin title. Obviously the main character is going to be named first 'Martin Clunes' then the rest follows. Unlike other title sequences, this one doesn't have any characters or faces on screen. It was all made and filmed especially for the intro. As its all filmed in Cornwall, they wanted to show the beauty of the landscape and show the world what a stunning place it is. The show is really big in America and they get tones of tourists from the states and all over.
3) Primeval (Series 2)
Now this one is a very nostalgic title sequence, as I used to love this show when I was younger. The show is about tears in time called 'Anomalies' and creatures not only from the past but also from the future come through by accident. There's only a small group of people who know the truth - Professor Nick Cutter's team. Steven Hart, Connor Temple and Abby Maitland.
So the sequences begins with some hard hitting percussion and it kicks starts the show. I really like the visuals as all the characters are clipped masked inside the time crystals as they connect to each other like a puzzle flying by. The first character we see is Nick Cutter who obviously is the main star of the show. With the actors name next to it, as it also fly's in and forms the writing and spells - 'Douglas Henshall'. I like the way the text in all in upper case and is slightly italic. Also the red colour really sets of the danger side of the show, and works really well with those hard hitting percussions as it creates a lot of urgency. As the sequence begins to end the Anomaly closes down and forms into the red Primeval logo. Also I love the added, what it sounds to be, dinosaur screams in the background as its merged in with the music track. This creates a very on edge feeling as your about to get released into the danger of the twenty first century. When the music is literally about to stop the Primeval title falls apart and starts spinning as the Anomaly is closing, then disappears to darkness.
The way I can describe this title sequence is that its one big puzzle needing to be put together, and it does that! I love seeing all of the crystals linking up and floating around as its part of the Anomaly. Its like were all in there somewhere as its a massive part of time itself, past, present and the future.
4) Doctor Who (Series 4)
The Doctor Who titles have always been unique and has had many different versions over 50 years. My personal favourite is the 'Tenth Doctor Titles' from series 4. As I feel it gallops along and is a lot more modernised, with a faint drum kit in the background and more of a bass feel than the other versions. The music is instantly recognisable to mostly anybody and is a huge British icon.
This title sequence is really simple with all computer generated graphics and effects. No characters, no faces and no scenes. First off we jump straight into the action as the music instantly kicks in as if we we're on a rollercoaster. We see the blue time vortex as the TARDIS spins by and goes off into the distance. Here we see the BBC logo as it fades in at the bottom. As an extra point, blue vortex is the past and red vortex is the future. At 0:10 we catch up with the TARDIS as it spins the whole camera to the left and then we go through the red vortex. I really love this part as it looks like we slowed down time, also the colours are stunning and really vibrant. The music is amazing as it gallops along and really does get you into the right mood. As the music hits the most iconic sound "Ehhhweeewhooo", we get the first actors name 'David Tennant' also known as the Doctor. I love how the text turns to the camera and floats into us as the time vortex is constantly continuing into us. Then metallic silver text goes straight into us as it flies past. Then we get the second main character 'Michelle Ryan'. After that we finally get the Doctor Who logo as it spins slowly to the camera and then flies past us. Then we catch up with the TARDIS once again as it spins around, then revealing the episode title "Planet of the Dead", you also get he name of the writers underneath. Then the whole sequence comes to an end as the music finishes and the visuals fade out.
5) Sherlock (Series 1, 2 and 3)
There's 5 different variations of the Sherlock titles. Series 1, 2, 3, 4 and Abominable Bride special. The video below includes the first three. I really like the Sherlock titles because it has a mixture of different elements. The big part of the sequence is the time laps, just like Doc Martin its to show life moving over the course of time shown. I also love the overlays of transitions as they all seem to blend all together really well.
6) Fawlty Towers
The Fawlty Towers opening titles sequences is very unique and is very recognisable. My most favourite part is in every episode the titles are slightly different. Where it says 'Fawlty Towers' on the sign. Its spelt differentially every time. For example, 'Warty Towels' and 'Farty Owls' etc. Just where someone's come along and changed the wording on the sign as a joke. I feel that this is a really nice touch, as sometimes watching the same title sequence over and over again can be a little boring. Also the music is wonderful and defiantly gets stuck in my head all the time. The background is just of the Hotel where the whole show is set. The text fades on screen and out. Very simple but effective and it only lasts for about 10 seconds, any more than that then it would become boring.
My conclusion for this 'Research Project' is that its been very challenging than I thought I would be. This is a good thing as it always great to push myself. At the start when I first decided to do the research project on title sequences, I thought It might be quite easy, as I knew a lot about title sequences already. Now I know even more. I have enjoyed this project, as I really enjoy looking closer at things and that everything has a reason for being there. For example, text isn't just put in a random place, someone's thought about that and made the decision to put it in the right place. If that's the centre, right, left, top or bottom. My favourite part was analysing the title sequences. I loved going into great detail on my favourite title sequences. Like Teen Wolf and Sherlock. As I mentioned previously Teen Wolf is my favourite title sequences as it captures everything so perfectly. The music, visuals, text, how they present the characters on screen within a short amount of time and how they come across to us as the viewer.
As this research project comes to an end, there's just one finale question left to finalise. And that's the big question - "What makes a great title sequence?" Personally for me, what makes a great title sequence is good memorable music and the characters which come on screen. How they portray themselves on the title sequence is so important. We want to see there personality and mannerisms, within a very short amount of time. Every title sequence is different, so maybe there's no characters on screen. If that's the case it defiantly relies on the music. Something with a catchy tune and is epic. A tune that will make you hum along to it for hours.
So overall I've really enjoyed this project even if there a few tough bits, like finding good enough secondary research. If I was to change something or improve it, I would analysis a few more title sequence as I only did six. It would of been great if I did ten to round it off.
By doing this research project, its helped me warm up to the FMP. I'm feeling very excited about it as I want to create something spectacular. This will be my finale piece of work in Bath College and want to leave with a bang. I haven't got any ideas yet for my FMP. Last year I did a nature film, looking a the beauty of spring. This year I want to spice things up.
For my 'Research Project' I have decided to do it on title sequences. What makes a good TV titles sequence? Why do we need them? Are they important? These are the sort of things I'm going to be covering in this project. A lot of people, I would imagine that skip a title sequence, just out of pure boredom. But in fact there is so much to a title sequence that not everyone knows and understands. They are so important, the music, the footage and the text. Also the more technical parts such as length, pacing and speed. But as a focal point I will be coming from the music side of things, as personally I feel as that the music is the most important and would be the most memorable in the title sequence. I have decided to do this project on title sequences because I think they are really interesting and love the thought I how they get put together, with all the music and visuals that sum up the entire show in about 30 seconds.
So my project is about finding out what makes a great TV opening titles sequence. Why there so important, as so many people skip them. There's so much to a title sequence then just 30 seconds of time wasting. Everything that has been added is there for a reason, text, positioning, filters, music, length etc. The list is endless. I will be covering primary and secondary research, that's research I've carried out my self like a questionnaire. Then other peoples research likes top 10's and articles. At the end of this project I will be concluding why you need a title sequence and what makes great.
Harvard referencing is also known as parenthetical referencing. It was invented by Edward Laurens Mark, who is a professor of anatomy in the zoological department of Harvard University. It dates back to 1881, where Mark was writing a paper on a garden slug.
Hard referencing is a way to credit people for there work when used in your own or someone else's. This can be magazines, newspapers, images, articles etc. By doing this you must clearly identify were you got the source from, if its a quote or paraphrasing. This is essential in staying away from being accused of plagiarism
You Harvard reference by including the name of the author or initials. You add the name of the article, in-between quotation marks. Name of journal, in italics. Also any dates and publication information you can find like volumes or numbers.
