Video openings

I've been watching some video openings for ideas for my own video i've watched some on DVD's at home but these are some of the ones i found on youtube.



This is the opening to the pink panther, i won't be doing something like this because its all animation but its still good because of the way they show the titles so they mix in with animated action, i could do something like this in my own video!



This is the opening to James bond - Golden eye. its a typical Bond opening with all the figures as silhouettes, guns and explosions, again not somthing i could do easily, it is possible with my own softwear to do somthing like this but it would take a long time, you have to do masking frame by frame and it takes forever to do just a minutes worth of clip. I can do the clips overlapping and fading through though!



not a practical opening, it goes on for a very long time before the titles start, but it fits the films genre (Comady/musical) and hooks the audiance in straight away, introduce the main charater and does it all through song! again, this isn't a very good for my video because its long and i can't do musical things

i watched Titanic aswell, but the embedding was dissabled so heres the URL

This opening is really simple, its just a montage of old style videos of titanic setting sail for the final time. the opening doesn't need to be anymore then that because its powerful enough as it is, Titanic is the most famous ship wreck in the world so most people know what is going to happen. i could do a simple opening, but it would have to be something people could recognize easily, i could do a shelf of Sherlock Holmes books, or something else most people know about
