Vachon 05 Title Sequence Selects

  • But I’m a Cheerleader
  • 2000
  • Comedy
  • Plot Synopsis: But I’m a cheerleader is a movie about a cheerleader getting taken to a conversion camp. The plot follows a group of teens, discovering themselves and their options in the world. It uses a lot of satire and over the top comedy.
  • Reason for selection: One of my recent favorites, love the color and the pushing of the envelope within the plot
  • Paragraph that outlines why your services are needed on each film’s title sequence
    Missing a lot of character, shows what the plot is about in a fun way, however. I think the opening credits could use a more creative flow of the unfolding of the plot. There are a lot of easter eggs in the film I could use as well that nod to certain scenes or dialogue without giving away the whole plot.

Opening Sequence

  • Pearl
  • 2022
  • Psychological Horror
  • Plot Synopsis: Pearl is a prequel within a trilogy following our main character Pearl. Her husband is off to war and she is given the task of helping out her parents on their farm. What at first might seem to be a rebellious nature turns into seeing her true nature.
  • Reason for selection: This movie has very skewed morals, we know Pearl is wrong for what she is doing but in a twisted way you feel for her and her circumstances.
  • Paragraph that outlines why your services are needed on each film’s title sequenc
    This opening title sequence is fine as it is, but I want to take it to the next level. I think presenting the title sequence in a fairy tale fashion that slowly turns dark would be a fun metaphor for the plot of the film

Title Sequence

 

 

  • The Substance
  • 2024
  • Psychological Horror
  • Plot Synopsis: The substance follows a fitness show host who is “aging out” and is fired in the beginning of the film. She gets a mysterious phone call that offers the answers to all her problems. A new drug that can make you a better version of yourself. They have to switch every week. The problem is the younger version of herself needs more and more time as she rises to stardom. They eventually morph into one person and appear at an awards show that becomes overly graphic.
  • Reason for selection: This film has a lot to work with, the lack of an opening sequence irks me. The visuals in the film have many hidden meanings that could be highlighted in an opening credits scene.
  • Paragraph that outlines why your services are needed on each film’s title sequence
    This movie has a lot of good color and style. I think bringing that into a graphic space could really lend it a hand.
