I chose to make an extremely simple image on photoshop as I feel it reflects the simplicity of Burton films title sequences. The dark blue backing is imitated as I have noticed it in a lot of his sequences, as was the font of the text, though the colour and the animation is more usually adapted to the film, there appears to be a fairly standard type of font which he favours. The supposedly blood-red corners are meant to represent the subtle but noticeable elements of darker themes in his films. As a lot of the content of the sequences for his films are direct references to occurrences or themes within the film which become clear once contextualised after seeing and understanding the film, I felt a smoky layer would show this this well. It also has a more direct aesthetic reference to the title sequence to "Sweeney Todd...."

| I incorporated the pallet, font and smoking effect from this sequence into my montage. |
 |
| The smoky affect is again apparent in this sequence. |
 |
| The use of a blood trail highlight a darker element to the film. |
 |
| This also has the blue pallet and similar text font, but also the majority of the sequence is referential to what will happen in the film. |
It is fairly apparent that I took a lot if direct inspiration for his works, but then used the tools I have and some of my own imagination to combine them and create something new. This is what i would like to do for my final piece also.
