Stranger Things

The Stranger Things opening sequence is very original to the programme. As it had such a huge success, many people associate the font of the title sequence to this show. This shows how such a simple title sequence of only words has dominated this font.

It starts off with a black screen with the theme music playing. Then it shows close up of red lines which are actually the letters of stranger things. The letters are moving around and then move closer together to form the title. This is almost like a foreshadowing of what happens in the programme, as Eleven can move things with her mind, the way these letters are just floating around.

As this is happening, the names of the cast, producers, director etc. appear on screen in white, using a different font. The titles stand out as the background is black with red letters making the white titles stand out.

The whole title is then seen saying 'Stranger Things' and it soon disappears and 'created by the Duffer Brothers' appears in a red font. It soon turns white, then red again and fades out. This is the only title that does this and it shows that it is an important one.

This title sequence is one of my favourites as it is simple, just words, yet engaging as the theme music draws he audience in.
