Good title sequences can make your video really stand out from the rest of the pack, so don't take them for granted!
Think of them as a little "mini-movie" within your full movie or video.
Take a look at the first video, which is an awesome title sequence, (keep in mind the credits at the end of the first video would not be seen in a true title sequence which is meant to begin a movie or video) then watch the short second video which will give you some interesting insight into how it was made. In your warm up today answer the following questions:
1. What is the purpose of a title sequence?
2. What did you like most about this title sequence?
3. Why did they storyboard EVERY shot?
4. How did I say you should think of your title sequence and why should you not take them for granted?
