D'OB: Analysis of Title Sequence - Jordskott (Björn, 2015)


Jordskott Opening- Title Analysis  

Order of Appearance:
  • Production and production assistants [4 seconds]
  • Cast [5 seconds]
  • Scriptwriters [5 seconds]
  • Director of photography and production designer [3 seconds]
  • Costume and makeup [3 seconds]
  • Editor and sound design [3 seconds]
  • Producer and Director [4 seconds]
  • Concept creator [5 seconds]
Significant design elements:
  • Typeface - Sans serif
  • Rectangular typeface with the exception of title
  • Notable casts’ names in white against burgundy blood spatter
  • Script writers’ names embedded in bottom left third amongst series of photos
  • Makeup and costume in left third of shot alongside x ray
  • Editor, scorers and sound design surrounded by hand drawn illustrations in lower left
  • Set design and producer in top right amongst news articles
  • Title “Jordskott” is central in a serif font with roots growing from it
  • Traditional typeface symbolic of Viking influence


In response to my research I have edited a picture found on the internet to emulate the Scandinavian crime drama setting and have used it to create a potential title sequence for our horror opening "PLAY".  The negative section helped create the blood red text in a very static sans serif typeface. As well as this the negative panel breaks up the picture and has a paranormal connotations.
