To kill a Mocking Bird – 

Atticus Finch, a lawyer in the Depression-era South, defends a black man against an undeserved rape charge, and his kids against prejudice.
The film uses the grayscale feature to highlight the images being shown as it provides greater contrast, making the images more clear to the audience. The images dark features gives insight to the crime genre as an antagonist led film.

Grayscale title sequence matches audience expectations and ideologies of the crime genre. It is labelled as a genre that relies heavily on the negativity on the featured antagonist. The strong black and white title scene colours gives great contrast in the difference between those with good morals and those with bad morals.



For a title sequence that would be appropriate for our film production it will have to be relatable to both the context and the characters of the production.The gray-scale images suit the film noir/ crime genre as those productions are set in whats called to be bleak times, lack of colour demonstrates this. typography will need to be in context with the images in the background, but must standout and create contrast using the black and white colour schemes. A well seen example of this is during the title scene of Martin Scorsese's 'Raging Bull'. 

Ideal fonts may include, Arial Black, Constantia and FrankRuehl. An ideal typography would be bold Sans Serif as it provides impact and distinction within the context.
