Introduction

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.
