Shot Evaluation - Title Shot

This is a shot of our films main title: Decoded. We chose this title as it links with the espionage and spy thriller elements that are part of our opening scene. The word 'decoded' has connotations of secret codes and information that we feel are plot devices that would appeal to our target audience of male teenagers. The word 'decoded' also raises an enigma, as it should make our audience ask questions such as "What has been decoded? Why is it so important? Who tried to hide whatever was decoded?"

We chose a sharp neon blue as our titles colour as we felt this colour linked to the data, technology and secret hard drives that are part of our film. This is similar to how The Matrix used a sharp green to link in with its computer code in a now iconic main title style. We also opted for a simple and plain font to juxtapose the action from the film, taking inspiration from The Bourne Legacy's title that I found in my title research. The title also takes up the whole of the screen and is against a plain black background, so the audience know it is the title of the film as so much focus has been put on it.
