Ideas for OTS
Currently, I am unsure about what my exact concept for the opening title sequence will be, but I have a few ideas on what I would like to try and encorporate.
To try and adapt the idea of Film Noir I would like to try and create a 'Neo-Noir', with stylistic conventions from movies such as Sin City or 300.
I am not yet sure about which movie style to conform with, be it horror or comedy. I would like to create perhaps a thriller with some horror aspects. As attempting to create a purely horror piece would be difficult to execute at an amateur level with little budget.

What is Film Noir?
Film noir is a cinematic term used mainly to describe stylish Hollywood crime dramas, particularly those that amplify sardonic attitudes and sexual motivations.
The classic film noir period began from the early 1940s to the late 1950s. Film noir of this time is associated with a low-key black-and-white visual style.
New age noirs are referred to as 'neo-noirs'.
Film noir's aesthetics are motivated by German Expressionism, an artistic movement of the 1910s and 1920s that involved theater, photography, painting, sculpture, and architecture, as well as cinema.
The private eye and the femme fatale are character types conventionally identified with noir.
Femme Fatale - Mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations.
Private Eye - Private detective.
