I have wanted to do this opening sequence for a while as Mad Max is one of my favourite movie franchises. I was inspired by Saul Bass and the simplicity of his opening sequences, I wanted to create a more retro feel to it as this will echo through out my design stages. During this process I increased the title ‘MAD MAX’ so the background becomes crimson red even though the set background colour is peachy orange. I wanted the main title to become smaller unveiling a letter form or an abstract canvas while the credits move with it. This made the sequence more dramatic and gave it mystique as the music contributed towards the mood and vibe.

The Typefaces I have used for this is ‘Road Rage’ and ‘Mistral’ to give the title sequence more of an nostalgic and retro feel.

To improve the title sequence I would create a clipping mask in the main title ‘MAD MAX’ to unveil a setting as the title becomes bigger to eventually it to disappear from the frame giving the setting the full canvas.
