Art of the title

Art of the title is a very useful website that analyses all types of film openings; from thriller to comedy. The website is very helpful in finding out about how to analyse title sequences, film trailers, openings for films and some very interesting documentaries such as making of films etc.

The film I chose to review is 'Ginger Snaps' an American horror thriller released in 2000.

The opening of Ginger Snaps starts of with the introduction of the actress Emily Perkins, who plays the main role in the film. This is strange as usually your conventional title sequence opens with that of the production company; this may suggest that this is not your typical conventional film. More actors are introduced until finally the Casting Director Robin D. Cook C.D.C is given props.  The Costume designer Lea Carson comes next followed by special make up and creature effects Paul Jones, Original score Michael Shields and Production designer Todd Cherniawsky are introduced next.  Following suit is Editor Brett Sullivian, Director of photography Thom Best and Story by Karen Walton & John Fawcett. Afterwards is produced by Steve Hoban and Karen Lee Hall and finally the director John Fawcett comes last. The films title is not mentioned throughout the film opening and neither is the production and distribution company which might mean that this was an independent film.
