MOST FAMOUS TITLE SEQUENCES.

Karin Fong only used CGI throughout her title sequence for Daredevil (2003).

She uses bright and bold 3D fonts on a dark background making sure it stands out. She also centers the text so the audience look directly at it. The title sequence mentions the main production companies

first then the stars and that’s it. It doesn’t follow the normal tradition of title sequences such as the Production Company, then

director, then film name and after all that comes the stars and casts. Fong also add various sound effects which synchronize with the

actual scenes and footage, such as the sudden volume increase when the Daredevil logo appears.

I think this title sequence was fairly bland as it was all CGI and could be made better if it had some shots of actual film scenes or Daredevil

the character.
