Applies Animation: A Game of Thrones

A Game of Thrones is a TV series that I really enjoy watching and I feel is a good example of a successful opening/ title sequence. 




To start with I really love how the opening sequence gives you a real sense of the environment that the story is set in. I really like how the camera travels over a map of the world that makes up the story and I feel that it is a really interesting way to give an insight into what the series is about. Not only that but I also really love the aesthetic of the title sequence, as I that it fits really well with the tone and style of the series and I feel that it helps to create the correct atmosphere and it also helps to portray the time period the series is set in, it is sympathetic to the style and tone of the books that it is based upon. This has made me think carefully about how I am going to effectively create a title sequence that is sympathetic to the book that I have chosen. In order to do this I have to think about the tone of the book that I am looking at and I need to think carefully about how I would portray this visually, colours and style will play an important role in this and I need to take time to think about each one of these closely. 

Another thing I like about this title sequence is how simple the sequence is but how effective it is despite the fact that it is simple 3D animation. I feel that it is so effective because of the camera movement and it has reminded me that I don't have to create an elaborate animation for my title sequence to be successful.
