Opening Credits Planning

For my opening I wish to have the title sequence at the end. After the climatic scene of the gunshot and the door slamming the screen will go to blackout. The title will then come into view and then it will fade into the next scene and the opening credits will be on the side of the shots. These shots are of the girl in the film, Morgan, walking along the streets.

The opening credits above are from the TV show the walking dead. This is the kind of thing I would like to create. Obviously there wouldn't be as many shots or as many credits but the quick succession of shots with the credits to the side or above the main part of the shot is what I would like to create.

The above credits are from the film Panic Room. The opening credits in this film are also to the side of shots, however these are all of building and the city. I would like to have something like this except the shots I would have to make would be from ground level.

In conclusion I wish the title to enter from a blackout at the end of the computer room scene and then the opening credits to be present to the side or above the main part of the shot in the next few shots. These shots will be of the girl walking the streets during the day and possibly buildings and parts of the city.

Ident planning

Most idents, like bbc one and channel 4 look really professional and would be very difficult for someone like me to pull off. Because of this i'm looking to do one similar to that off an indie cinema or a perhaps simpler one that's still used by a big company. The ident below is from new line cinema. It looks slick and smooth and is a lot simpler than bbc one or channel 4. Something like this will still be hard to do but not as hard as that of bbc one etc.

I am going to animate the ident myself and so I will have limitations as my skills in this area aren't that of professional standard. There are other options for the ident but these also have their limitations (for instance real life shots with special effects put in). I think I could make something similar to that of the ident above if I practised with animations.

Above is an animation I created using a program called pivot and converted into a .gif format. This program was very simple to use and the ident didn't take that long to do. This is however just a recce and when I create the ident i'm going to use I will spend a lot more time on it and make it look much more professional. I think the ident below however is a very good start and looks quite like something I would want to do.
