Starting my research today, I already have an idea of what I want our title sequence to be like. The skeleton follows a female (possibly male if we face complications) detective struggling at the beginning of their investigation of a murder. For our proposal of this project, we challenged ourselves to set the sequence in the 90’s, so 1) the female detective would have more of a struggle since gender equality is still making its way to completely equal, and 2) so we would give ourselves a good challenge to find the right setting and the right decor and costuming and props so it will fit in the setting that we wanted it to be like. This will give us a good idea of how real set designers can set the scene of an event with the best use of mise-en-scene they can get. This sequence will most likely fall under three main genres, crime, mystery and drama, and possibly go under the one subgenre of thriller. The main events for each scene are listed next to this block of text of how our title sequence is going to play out which is definitely subject to change with more research to come, but our basic idea follows the detective struggling to find the truth to the murder. Our idea for the title sequence didn’t particularly start anywhere, but our interests stemmed from the same ideas of wanting our sequence to resemble a mystery and someone solving it. This allowed for us to bounce ideas off one another to come up with the idea of Into the Truth. The title came to us almost naturally once we established the mystery aspect of our film, finding the truth is one main aspect of solving said mystery, so it flowed well with our idea. Our research should be done around our schedule we have set in place, so by February 3rd we should have all the research we need and then we can really shape our title sequence into the specific genre conventions it needs.
