This is our remake of the movie Drive's (2011) opening title sequence. Although it is not an actual coming of age film, we particularly liked the 80's/90's vibe of the music and font that were chosen for the film. We felt that the font we used (Brush Script MT Italic) was very similar to the original movie's typography (which we could not find in iMovie), however the colour we selected was a little off.
We couldn't replicate the exact background of the original title sequence, as it includes air shots and in car shots - instead we used a simple black background which would contrast with the text. Our primary focus was the typography itself, however, so the background wasn't too much of an issue.

When looking at examples of title sequences of films I realised that the typography was very important as it this introduces the actors and title of the film. The style of font should be interesting but not too complicated to read, and should capture the audiences attention. The music selected for the sequence should also relate to the typography and happenings in the background - mood and atmosphere especially. The typography should be consistent in timing and placement so the audience can keep up.
