Solution

Due to the short running time of the programme, the title sequence was only required to show the leading actors' names and the title of the show. It was a specific request of the client that the sequence feature a 'gamer ball'- an integral part of the story. I wanted to give the gamer ball a commanding presence that reflected its role in the show, so I made it the focus of the sequence. Since the gamer ball is of handheld size in the show I decided to use extreme close-up shots that would take up the whole screen. This also gave the sequence an air of mystery as the viewer is unable to see what it is until the final moments.
