Title Research

For our title we have decided to do some research by looking at other films from the same Action Thriller Genre.

Bourne Ultimatum

With Bourne Ultimatum the titles were in the end credits and this could be so that absolutely none of the audiences attention was taken away from the film and it's action scenes and this is a standard convention in action thrillers for this specific reason. Also because, Bourne Ultimatum is the third one in the series everyone already knows exactly who is in it and who has directed it etc...
James Bond Series in General
(Casino Royale)

With the James Bond series the titles are done within a music video montage and this is done so that no action is ignored by the audience because they are watching the titles. Also because it adds to the story becuase, traditionally in a James Bond film the first five minutes is a scene that isn't really related to the rest of the film but the ones that are the music video is used to connect them. It could also be used as another way of getting money because they normally release the single a month before the film and it just helps to hype the film and make sure everyone knows about it.

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

Like James Bond they use a video montage but with the classic Mission Impossible music over it and this is done to introduce the actors and show the audience the different aspects/scenes of the film
Sherlock Holmes

Like Bourne Ultimatum the titles were in the end credits and this could be so that absolutely none of the audiences attention was taken away from the film and it's action scenes and this is a standard convention in action thrillers for this specific reason.

Expendables

With the Expendables the different titles appear in the bottom corners of the screen over the film. This convention is used when there are loads of big name stars like; Sylvester Stallone; Jason Statham; and Bruce Willis so that the titles don't take up too much time in the film.

The Matrix: Reloaded
                                     i

The Matrix uses the same techniques as the James Bond and Mission Impossible series.
