Evaluation question 1: Props and costume

I created this video to look at the significance of the props in my opening title sequence and if they were similar to other films.
I learnt that the costumes we created were similar to other opening title sequences, and were key in setting the time of that particular scene...
E.g - The newer TV in Old Nancy's scene tells us that it is set in recent time whilst Young Nancy's costume with the shawl and old dress with patches of odd fabric sewn on to it shows that the film was set at an earlier date.

We featured a saddle as a prop in our opening title sequence which showed that the horse was about to get ridden, this prop is common to other horse films.

One way in which our opening title sequence is different to others is one of our most significant props is that of the photo frame, this is used to help tell the story and connect the same character at different life stages. I haven't seen this in any of the opening titles that I have analysed.
