As part of the post-production of Films & TV Shows,
Titles & Openings are generally used to introduce it. Titles & Openings
often communicate with the audience the type of genre the film/show belongs to
along with the people associated with it like main actors/actresses, costume
design, director, etc.
Game Of Thrones
Game of Thrones's Opening takes the audience on a
fantasy-inspired journey throughout Westeros's current state during that
season. Landmarks & locations known to the audience begin to form & take
shape on the virtual map. The actor's & actress's names appear in the
opening sequence next to a picture of their character's house sigil. For
example, Maisie Williams's name is next to a picture of a Wolf because her
character: "Arya Stark" is part of House Stark & their sigil is a
Wolf. The colour pallet is quite natural with whites, greens, blue & browns
as they are the colour of the landscape - The white is used for snow, green for
grass, blue for the ocean & the brown for rock/desert. Subtle tones of gold
are used to convey a sense of regal superiority to tie in with the story of
"fighting for the crown to rule Westeros." The final scene where the
title is shown on the crown along with four house sigils in each corner shows
the main contenders (Stark, Targaryen, Lannister & Baratheon) all are in
for a chance of winning "The Game of Thrones." The art style of the
visuals paired with the epic, well received music hints to the reader that this
show will indeed be a unique, fantasy, battle that the audience will encounter
twists & turns with unexpected outcomes - hence the intro showing the
building of the locations on the map - you have to guess the outcome of what
the outcome is going to be of the construction when first watching (unless you
know you already know the geographical aspects of Westeros).
