Smoke title sequence


In psychological thrillers usually the title sequence is related to the film but doesn't necessarily make sense to the audience straight away, this is used as a suspense technique. For example in "Cape Fear" the audience who see this film for the first time will not know the twist of the story that happens at the lake of Cape Fear. This has psychological elements in that it plays on the mind of the audience to wonder what the film is about, especially as Cape Fear doesn't sound like a boat port or a lake area.






In our film we are using a smoke effect title sequence as it is the main part of out film. Although the smoking and drugs is used before the title sequence the audience will not full understand how drugs make the full twist of the film as the girl in on drugs when she goes into a illusive coma. The smoke also represents a plan to have fun going up in flames, which creates smoke.  Also the smoke represents smoking and cigarettes which is seen as a bad habit or to look "cool" so this will pull in audiences with different views on smoking.
The title sequence will involve a song that represents paranoia which is a symptom of using drugs and what the girl who goes into a coma is experiencing paranoia.
