'Divergent' as an influential film

I have decided to import this trailer because likewise to 'The Hunger Games', the plot and futuristic style is key for the Dystopia genre and will help us to develop our concept of the society during our opening scene.

I love the establishing shots during the title sequence because it allows the audience to get a clear feel for the setting and the issues within society. We think that we will do something like this during our title scene, but obviously we will not be able to produce a shot at the same quality level as this. Therefore, we will have to use local locations wisely to connote emptiness and lack of living.

This was effective because it was one of the influences for us using different shots during the title sequence, for example, the shot of the dead plant or the long shot at ground level highlighting the emptiness and creating a sense of desolate locations. Plus, from this research I have discovered that the font needs to blend in with the shot framing and colour, else it will appear unusual, unless this is necessary and for a purpose. So, we decided to use plain white font, similar to the font used in 'Divergent' because here it worked well and meant that we followed a Dystopia film example.
