'Limbo'


Above is our listed opening credits, this list is informed directly from the Alien opening title sequence as shown below:



The opening title sequence should be fairly short so as not to diminish the remainder of time available for our short opening to our movie. We have taken direct influence from both this opening sequence and the likes of Donnie Darko and A Scanner Darkly, not only the text but rather the font, colour scheme and atmospheric presentation ( Sci-fi feel as shown above - adheres to the codes and conventions of the Sci-fi genre).

For our opening title we have experimented with various opening titles sequences, ranging from basic descriptions of the drug Elysium, a static flickering image of the title 'Limbo' (influenced by A Scanner Darkly) to a promotional advertisement style title influenced by the likes of Resident evil. These where just basic designs and could possibly be used in post production, they do not have any credits and are only a concept design. These designs are presented below: the music used is from the video games Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil, both which follow influences and the Codes and Conventions of the Sci-fi genre.

We intend to use these templates and the Donnie Darko, A Scanner Darkly and Alien introduction specifically as influences for our title and introduction sequence. Credits will appear on falling leaves as they descend, this is at the start of the sequence (informed by A Scanner Darkly) and the title will be displayed at the end of the short movie intro similarly to the presentation style in Donnie Darko.

Below is our initial attempt at creating some basic trailers and promotional advertisements for both our movie "Limbo" and the drug "Elysium".
