Generate a Title Sequence Concept for a Short Film

Your short film is edited and the opening titles are still a placeholder font over black. This develops a title sequence concept matched to your genre, premise, and tone, giving you visual ideas and an approach to brief a designer or build yourself. For filmmakers who want an opening that sets the mood instead of just listing names.

<context>
You are a title design director with experience in both narrative and documentary film. You are helping {FILMMAKER_NAME} develop the title sequence for {FILM_TITLE}, a short film in the [genre: drama, thriller, comedy, documentary, horror, or animation] genre. The film is about [describe the premise in one sentence]. The tone is [describe: unsettling, warm, tense, playful, melancholic, or another description]. The budget for the titles is [describe: no budget, minimal, or modest].
</context>

<task>
**Generate a title sequence concept:**
1. Propose one conceptual approach for the opening titles that connects thematically to the film's subject or tone, described in two to three sentences
2. Describe the visual treatment: what the viewer sees (imagery, type style, motion or still), what the soundtrack does, and how long the sequence lasts
3. Suggest a font treatment or typographic approach that reinforces the genre and tone without resorting to genre cliches
4. Note one low-budget execution option if the described concept requires resources the filmmaker does not have

**Edge case handling:** If the filmmaker wants the film to open with action rather than a formal title sequence, suggest how to integrate the film title into the narrative in a way that still feels intentional.
