Recently when watching an episode of ‘Hollyoaks’ at home in my own time, I found that, although it’s clearly not a children’s drama, it presents a very interesting title sequence. Although it doesn’t give much insight to what the show is actually about, it gives the audience a clear introduction to each of the characters without naming any names or giving any of the characters past / history. I like the idea that sequence appears to have been filmed in a studio, and then edited to present all the characters in a short sequence.

The ‘Hollyoaks’ title sequence presents all the ideas that we’ve had in mind for our own title sequence. An opening sequence like this, with added relevant music on our part, and some graphics added indicating the characters names, could be very positive and relatively easy for us to achieve. We would be at an advantage as well given that we have a photography studio on the college campus and we could film here and edit in any other effects we wanted later on. Something like this covers everything we wanted our opening sequence to have and not to have in it.
