Character Animation Part II- Title Sequence- The Terminator

As a follow up to the first character animation, my next task is to create a title sequence, incorporating a signinficant character, to a designated film. My film is the Terminator (1984).
I have seen this movie many a time and happen to really enjoy the Terminator series of films, so I really looking forward to persuing this project brief.

Fancast- Beautiful title sequences- A good blog regarding interesting title sequences and use of close-ups, just as what i am trying to achieve in my animation.

I have found a few of the opening title sequences on the internet for some of the programmes mentioned on the fan cast website:



I really, really like this opening sequence. the beginning is especially fitting to my idea of building up a picture of my sequence for the Terminator.
The close- ups of the blood dripping on the face and into the sink, remind me greatly of the eye and arm surgery scene in the Terminator.
You know exactly what the character is doing in this sequence without seeing his face and giving away what he looks like.
I love the blurred refection in the mirror, which still doesn't give the character away... I could do this for my Terminator Sequence, as it would
mimic the screen where he carries out self- surgery, but you still don't know what the terminator looks like until you actually watch the film.
