Title sequences

This is my new blog that i have set up for my university project in specialist studies. Now in my final year at uni I'm defining my area of specialty and want to go into the motion graphics field and for this project I wanted to create a piece that would help show my variety of skills from script writing, character design to my technical skills and that's why I wanted to design a title sequence.
I think title sequencing doesn't always get the recognition it deserves because a good title sequence can set the mood of the movie and give you insight into the characters and the movie.
Title sequences have become more mainstream in recent years and are now created for movies, television and even games but of course title sequences have been around for many years and some still have influences on designers to this day, take for example Saul Bass who created the title sequence for Psycho the Alfred Hitchcock movie from the 1960's which is simple but the soundtrack complements the sequence perfectly adding anticipation to the sequence and movie and many designers and fans look to this sequence as one of the best.
