Stranger things

Stranger things in an American science fiction Netflix series based in the 1980s. The opening title sequence is solely made up from the words “Stranger things” piecing together. Simple, but effective in the way it is done.

The font used looks like it has been created from neon lights. Each letter is hallow perhaps to suggest the things that we are yet to know and discover about the show. The outline of each letter as mentioned looks like it’s been created with red neon lights, all capitals with a retro typeface. The retro typeface represents the era in which the show is based the colour red highlights the danger that the characters might face throughout the show. The use of capitals also gives the titles a serious tone.

There is a good use of movement used through the opening titles as each letter begins large scale, showing us the sharp corners, smooth edges, and quick turns of each letter.

The letters slowly move towards each other, fitting together slowly like a jigsaw puzzle, representing how the netflix series will unfold episode by episode.
