Django
Film titles are used in TV and film to present their productions and introduces important members of the creation of the programme or film, such as: cast members, directors, producers, artists etc.
We can split film credits into two, there is the ‘Title sequence’ and there is the ‘Opening credits’. Opening credits are nothing but a series of text introducing important members of the production. The title sequence is similar however normally presented with use of visual and sound editing.
The film opening can consist of many credits, such as: Production Company, studio, producer, director, actors, title, music, designers, editors, book influence, and writers.
Not only is the credits just a list of names, it can also hint the genre through its typography, for example, quite sharp and brittle lettering can connote it is a serious film maybe a thriller or horror full of danger. Also with the use of background action it can also show us characters and what they may be like and set the scene by adding location. The editing side of the credits can influence what film may be like and intrigue the audience more to watch further into it, for example a plain slide of text may give expressions that the film is quite dull and not well thought out. The film titles in Django Unchained last for 2:54.

MUSIC COMES TO DRAMATIC HALT AND FILM STARTS.
In Django the opening titles are very different from normal conventional opening titles, the reason for this is because it is classed as a very tame thriller. Its not primarily a thriller but it is a hybrid film, the reason for this is because its and action, weston, comedy, historical, remix, thriller. So many of these genres are mixed up into one to create this hybrid, but you can actually remotely tell that it is a thriller because the opening titles are quite long and bold. Thrillers tend to be the only genre that do this, this may be because its sets the mood of the film but also because the original thrillers tended to be the very old film noir form the 40's and 50's. So it gives a sense of old conventions because you would have to read a lot of the time because the old film noir films where silent thus meaning there were a lot of titles.

FILM STARTS
The titles in this film really do create a sense of pain and suffering because it starts with basic animations of the companies involved, then the director has decided to shoe you some footage of the beginning of the film, he does this because he wants to stay within the basic conventions of a crime drama thriller. So all this footage will link in later on in the film. The titles make a lot of sense with this film because they are pure black on a light back ground and they fade in and out, this gives a sense of life may standout but if can easily come and go. The editor has decided to put the tiles on a piece of film work that is really quite sinister, this gives the audience and understanding that this film isn't going to be soft, if is a very dark film although physically its not. However the director has managed to make it quite inquisitive as well so you do really think its an interesting film because of the plot twists, history and action presented within this feature.
