Television programme of a similar genre: True Detective

The title sequence I have decided to look at is True Detective which is a Television series.

The Title sequence True Detective evolves around the genre: crime/ Psychological and mystery. The Television program is about the lives of two detectives, Rust Cohle and Martin Hart, become entangled during a 17-year hunt for a serial killer in Louisiana. 

The parts of the title sequence I liked the most were the cinematography as the camera seems to pan backwards and forwards creating motion for the piece which I felt was really effective and I may incorporate the same effect and motion into my title sequence. I really like how the images that are shown in the title sequence are very artistic and abstract as buildings and industrial looking sights are used to shape the head of a person. The cleverness about this is it hides the person’s identity and gives us a scene of setting which is mis en scene. I like the creativity and it creates questions and the answers you will have to find out when watching the television series. This is how I want the audience to feel when watching my title sequence. The sound used in the title sequence is very prominent in the whole piece it sounds country and American suggesting where it’s set, it’s not a sinister sound meaning it’s not going to be a horror but has a sense of vague suspicion creating a mysterious mood.
