TV Opening Titles Timeline 2 - 'True Detective' (2014)

Title sequence designer, Patrick Clair, created a specific title sequence that would cater for the television programme, 'True Detective'.  From a previous interview he did, he said that the production company of 'True Detective' (HBO), wanted the titles to display a "lot about how the landscape and setting of the show revealed the characters and reflected their internal struggles". With this is mind he came up with a very abstract but appealing opening that would engulf the audiences mind into the programme itself. As with 'Skyfall', I have a produced a titles timeline below showing when each credit appears. 

In terms of the music used - the song was called 'Far From Any Road' by The Handsome Family. This song is a good choice for the titles as it matches the emotion of the programme and gives it a strong identity.
