Starting the children's film opening sequence.

to begin with we decided on what certificate rating we wanted our sequence to be. We chose PG as this allows us to add some mild thread, such as a slightly disheartening title soundtrack. such as that shown below.



These titles are suitable for children as they display only mild threat/horror, such as the fact that the 'skeksis'  are only cartoons. However; in the real film, whether this is to do with the fact it was made in the 80's and a director (in this case jim henson) could get away with a lot more as it was a fantasy and the regulations and requirements were a lot more lax. For example, nowadays a director would not be able to include horror/ threat such as the video below as it would be unacceptable due to the footage being just too disturbing.
