Opening Titles

Detectives

Detectives is a television show that aired on the channel France 2 in spring 2013. You follow a small investigation through Paris using Google Street-view. At first you don't get it as it goes so quickly but in the end you work out the clues almost as though you are the detective. I like these opening titles as they make you look around and are interactive. 

They use a 360 view camera so make it like you're walking there. The red arrows stand out from the dull background colours and you also get to see a lot of Paris. The music is effective as well as its in time with how we (the audience move through the city).

Da Vinci's Demons

The opening of Da Vinci's Demons is very effective. The subtle colour palette and use of geometry makes it like a puzzle that you're trying to figure out. Like the 'Detective' one, Da Vinci's Demons opening sequence is like a puzzle itself. The music contrasts the whole feeling of the film as its very up-beat and dissimilar to Da Vinci and his drawings.
