I have chosen to look at the title sequences of similar short films, this allows me to see the techniques used that we could take into consideration when we are creating ours.
The first title sequence i looked at was for 'Black Button'
This is the first shot is the first thing that pops on the screen it says: GOD WILL NOT SUFFER YOU TO BE TEMPTED ABOVE THAT YE ARE ABLE. In black capital blurred font on a simple plain white background. Then the quote is completed with the name at the bottom right corner which also appeared after the dinging sound.
The first three shots make up a quote taken from the bible Corithian 10:13. It means that no temptation has overcome you only that what is common to mankind, god is faithful and he will not allow to to become tempted beyond what you can cope with, but when you are tempted he will provide a way so that you can cope it.
This links to Black Button as the judge tries tempting him into pressing the button for money.
This links to our film as the loan shark tries to tempt her into killing someone for money.

The title of the film starts to fade in.
The title of the film becomes clear again in a similar font but larger and bolder.
It then cuts to a shot of the judge and the film starts.
