Font
The Font is particularly neat and tidy, which perhaps reflects Leonardo Dicaprio's OCD role throughout the film. The font stays the same throughout the opening, however the colour changes, in relation to the colour of the background. Whenever the background is white, the font is either blue, brown or black. When the background is a darker colour the font is always white. It is also interesting to note that al titles are in upper case.
Rule of Thirds
The large majority of credits appear on either the bottom/top third on either the left and right hand side of the screen, only 3 titles appear in the centre of the screen.
Animation
Throughout the opening, in every scene there is a photograph of sketched aeroplane. In some circumstances the aeroplane flies in and titles follow its direction across the screen. In other circumstances the title appears with a photograph of an aeroplane on the screen.
How can I use this in my production?
From analysing this opening title sequence, there are various things I will take from it to help produce my opening sequence. Firstly I believe having a neat and tidy font is appropriate due to theme of OCD throughout the clip. In addition to this I will position the titles on thirds of the screen as I believe it's effective because it immediately catches the audiences eye. Furthermore, I think the colour sequence is excellent, and our group should portray the same technique using a mixture of dark and light colours in relation to the back
