Art of the Title- Class activity

Today in class we analyzed some title sequences from Artofthetitle.com. One title sequence that I found particularly creative was the one for Almost Famous. 
       This opening has the credits written out on notebook paper. Between these shots of the credits the camera also pans across the desk and wall showing a lot of music memorabilia around the persons desk. I found this technique interesting because it brought the credits to life and showed what the film was about (a journalist writing for a rock band for The Rolling Stone.) in a nutshell.  An opening similar to this that I also liked was the opening for school of rock. This film had the credits written on jackets and posters all round a room.
       Some aspects of this title sequence that I might use would be the credits written on something, possibly flyer, and I would also like to include some close ups of music related items like a guitar pick, a rock T-shirt, or a close up of my guitar or amp. I think I want the credits to appear written on several items like a flyer, a receipt, on sheet music, or maybe on someones phone.

Later on he made an appearance in character at Fox's CinemaCon. As things picked up other resources where used such as a deal with Wrangler creating a line of jeans inspired by the film. Also the band Queen, who was somewhat involved with the film as well, announced a reunion tour with Adam Lambert. Once the film had been in theaters for a while t...

"A Star is Born" opens by showing the Production company name with the sound of a crowd cheering in the background. Next the scene shows the main character backstage taking a handful of pills and walking on stage. The camera has a fish-eye effect to it to give the viewer the same intoxicated feeling that the main character is having. The band starts playing, he is playing the guitar. in the middle of the song the scene cuts to him entering the car with screaming fans behind him. The car rolls away and he starts drinking alcohol from the bottle as a ringing sound effect starts to build. This scene gives the feeling that the main character is exhausted from his life on the road. The film had a budget of 36 million dollars and a profit of 434.9 million dollars.
