Applied Animation - Mothers Basement

As i had decided to work on the Titles brief i decided to look at this youtuber 'Mothers Basement'. He is an online video reviewer who reviews and dissects anime openings. He looks into the composition and how a character is placed on a screen, how it connects to the next scene or if it is jarring to look at. If the animation is strong and fluid or if it fits with the overall feel of the anime.

I found that as i watched his videos as he explores the opening sequences he brings up points that  i hadn't considered or realised about title/opening sequences. things such as how the credits interact with the scenes and how certain opening sequences contain hidden underlying context, which is something that i would like to explore in my own opening sequence. 

It influences me to create a sequence that is compelling and appealing of its own that tells a story of its own through symbolism and metaphors, while still being connected to the story and drawing in the audience. his reviews also made me realise that when it comes to composition i haven't taken it into consideration as much as i could have in my previous projects, the characters are generally centralised and there isn't much variety on angles so i plan to consider it more now that i feel its been brought to my attention.
