.Notes from todays class 13 12 21

 The best opening title scenes I have seen so far well the most effective ones are the ones without characters or dialogue this is good as with a low or small budget the acting can sometimes hinder / in compromise the show as it may look wooden or just outright fake. This is especially true with ones where stabbing or shooting is in the scene as it is seemed to be very weak. I think the most effective are those with dark or maybe light starts which then switch tempo. If also there is some kind of development weather it be character or not it makes for a great opening scene.  If the atmosphere then changes from dark to light it shows depth. And weather or not it is everyday or paranormal. The main genre appeals is thriller or action as its the easiest to create tension with violence. Such as copse hill as it feels like a title sequence where as the lodger is a whole short movie in its self thus showing that they misunderstood the assignment.
