Never Underestimate the Power of a Strong Title Sequence

Never Underestimate the Power of a Strong Title Sequence An amazing opening-credit sequence can really immerse an audience, setting the tone for the entire film. PBS's Off Book series showcases the designers behind such films as Seven, Blue Valentine, and Mad Men. Watch the video to hear their approach to such a specific, but important, aspect of filmmaking.
