Since I'll be putting text on the introduction, I thought I'd look at some other sequences from TV shows that incorporate text into their footage.
The Mad Men theme uses silhouettes with text flashing aside the images to introduce the programme. In my opinion though the font is easy to read, it flashes in and out of shot too quickly; this is understandable to get all of the information in but at the same time you can't tell what it's saying. However the way everything sits in the frame looks good and works well as a sequence; I've never watched the show but there could be a reason that the text moves so fast.
The TV show 'Game of Thrones' is a recently massive hit, just starting it's 5th season. Their opening credits are very well animated, giving off an eery atmosphere; The font used works well with the rest of the imagery.
The third video I picked is 'George of the Jungle'. It's a show aimed at children, so the colours used are basic and bright, with a fun theme song to go with it. Though there are moments where the contrasting colours flash at you (which are hard to watch) the use of text is good; it's mainly due to the way characters interact with it, such as pushing it aside as they swing. The font used has very straight lines and is covered with a thick, black outline, which suit the overall look of the cartoon style well.
