The Eternal Daughter
The title sequence of The Eternal Daughter has a much older and gothic energy to it. It shows a background of simply trees and a gray sky while the text flashes over it. While I do really like how it looks, I don’t think it would fit the vibe I am going for for my project. However, I might use the font or at least take inspiration and find a gothic font to use for the names listed.
Mr. Holland’s Opus
Mr. Holland’s Opus shows a man playing piano and pretending to conduct, focusing heavily on the music while the cast is put overhead. One thing I really liked in this introduction is that the camera shot inside the man’s house is continuously moving, before showing the outside of his house. This not only establishes the man as a character who is passionate about music, but also shows us the setting while providing the credits in the corner.

This credit sequence is very good in my opinion. I really like how the font looks and how the glitches are done, as well as the quick cuts among seemingly random objects. This sequence is very focused on the editing rather than the shots themselves, which is the opposite of Mr. Holland’s Opus. It also shows the tone of the film instantly, which I definitely want to do for my opening.
