The Dark Knight Opening Titles anyone?

[dark_b]

colors set teh tone of the movie. no matter how much you try it purple is just not a serious tone. plus a bright purple? nope. and purple IMO doenst fit wit hthe color filters that they used in BB. and that is dirty orange.

 

[Luchastyle]

indeed, b. but a pale blue is a very fitting color for tdk. it's bleak, it's sad, it's for lack of a better word, dark. it will definitely work. green and purple are cartoony, outlandish colors, which i think will be used in lighting for scenes relating to the joker. giving it a very surreal tone.

 

[Gianakin_]

Dark purple is gret IMO. But green and purple... do you know what you get then? Batman Forever.

 

[Luchastyle]

yeah. they wouldn't be together though. we've all seen it in horror movies, a dark green lighting scheme on a city street, or in the corridor of a dark building. it gives it this strange feeling. and the dark purple, that can be used for different reasons. but the green will give it this creepy, perhaps, funhouse type feeling. which i think suits a disturbing depiction of the joker.

 

[dark_b]

i still think that the color filters from BB(dirty orange rusty) are perfect for joker scenes. i hate purple with a passion. and i dont care if he has purple on himself. there should NOT be purple atmoshphere with the joker scenes.

 

[Luchastyle]

k. maybe not purple. purple is hard to use in lighting i think. but green. you can't say no green can you? i think the orange would be too off for him. with the green hair and purple suit, the orange wouldn't work. but again, the blue would give it that bruised look. perhaps an orange saturation could work. but i don't know. i think blue will be the most used. blues and grays. a stark looking movie. and the green for the more creepy, disturbingly funny joker scenes.

 

[Gianakin_]

Yes, a "Saw" green would be more fitting. BB Orange seems off to me, as well. But shades of purple would be great. Besides, in cinema, purple signifies change/ or death.

 

[Luchastyle]

hmm. perhaps you are right. i think i heard that in a film class. but you don't see purple used so much. or if you do, it's not very obvious

 

[Gianakin_]

Yes, it's not in your face usually. Then again, you don't want to eat every color palette in your face when watching a movie. Color balcing and correction works when you don't notice/ get distracted by it.

 

[Luchastyle]

yeah, that's true. ever seen the movie Running Scared? it came out a couple years ago. has paul walker in it.

 

[Gianakin_]

Yep, good film, took a lot of undeserved heat just because it was "in" to bash Walker.

 

[Luchastyle]

yeah. i never liked him before that movie. i didnt dig fast and the furious. thought he was a mediocre "cool guy." but in that movie he was so intense. he was great. it's one of my favorite movies. so gritty and just plain entertaining. it may not be the masterpiece pulp fiction is, or any kubrick movie is, but it's just plain entertaining. i love it. one of those little known gems that i like to show people. i just watched it with commentary. very cool the way wayne kramer describes it all.

 

[Gianakin_]

Agreed.

 

[Luchastyle]

i gotta go. talk to ya later

Maybe it'll be the bats forming the NEW logo. And then the new logo breaking away like in the trailer.


Maybe.

 

[MiniBond]

Well I was just answering a demand ! Bur purple and green reminds me of mr J too (and Batman forever yes)!

 

[strikezone89]

Before this thread gets closed I just want to say that the Bats forming the symbol was probably one of my favorite openings to any movie and I'd rather it be something similar to that than an actual title sequence.

ditto.
this thread aint closed yet, by the way?

 

[bingy13]

Maybe a black background, and you see little shimmers of the bats clumped together forming the bat symbol and then loud laughter erupts from all around and the bats scatter toward the screen?

 

[Secret_Riddle]

Like this ?

that would be perfect.

 

[dark_b]

Maybe it'll be the bats forming the NEW logo. And then the new logo breaking away like in the trailer.


Maybe.

what new logo?

 

[DieSmiling]

No opening title sequence. Do it like Begins, cool Batman logo (in this case the exploding light through the Bat) then get right into the thick of things.

 

[GoogleMe94]

The trailer logo breaking up is the way to go

i actually agree with this. i would love to see something like that in the actual movie. really...explosive. im one of those ppl that thinks that the opening of a film sets the tone and mood of the film itself, so haveing the explodeing batsymbol, which is slightly reminisent of the Batman Forever opening, would guarantee the audience a rocking good time.

and to the ppl who think that it shouldnt be like spiderman film openings, first, i dont thinkl nolan would do that. but also, whats wrong with that? they were pretty cool, and got you pumped for the movie. 10 seconds of bats flying about with no music just doesnt cut it for me. its a movie, a comic book movie, they are meant to entertain, and the spiderman films did that. nolan has to start adding a little oomph to his bat-movies or he wont draw in the masses like with the spiderman films.

 

[Comic Book Boy]

I had no idea it was a religion.
