Hey guys! Just started learning UE5 and made my first cinematic opening title for my schools project. I would love to know what you guys think and want to hear any feedback. It would be really helpful so that I could improve. Any feedback like adding some shots in between, different angle, lighting, camera movement, sound effects, duration, etc.

Please feel free to let me know!!
Note: This is just a FHD render.

hey! nice cinematic, looks very good. a few things though: some of the camera cuts are a bit jarring becaue of the movement, so try to sync camera cuts to the flow of direction.

@dull sphinx Hey thank you for the advice! I actually never tried syncing the camera cuts, any source out there so i can do it?

[dull sphinx]

you can try looking at the shots you already have, see how they can fit better together. like for example, at 0:12, when a pole passes in front of the camera you can use the pole at 0:19 to achieve a smooth transition (albeit with the shot going towards the left instead of right)

[dull sphinx]

oh right, that's what its called 😅

Nice sets, and lighting - and the music holds the shots together. Leaves me asking what are you telling me - are you just showing me a bunch of cool shots or is there a story/something that connects the shots, here 🙂 If the later, perhaps a repeating motif might be worth considering - something subtle footprints/paw prints/ a splash of blood/ a characters stage left etc (like the energy overall - but you have some good advice of building that in the other comments)

Hey! Thanks for the comment 🙂 It's a opening title sequence for my school project. I'm a broadcasting major so we made a Mystery Survival Game Show type of content thats being held in a studio. So the whole concept of this sequence was just the opening of it. And yes!! I really wanted to add splash of blood, characters on stage, footprints but I didnt have enough time to study how to use models and use Decals(?). As the semester ends Im planning to add it if i have time 🙂
