Description:
Bring on the reveal in the splash screen with their name in big bold lettering, add a strong pose for your character and you’re just about there. Add camera shake, lens flares and anything else that would really push it that little bit further to ramp up the hyppppeeee!
This technique is not just about the text you slap on to introduce your character. The build to this is also important. There is an element of pacing, the cinematography has to be considered with what you reveal, and ultimately the pose that the character makes has to sum them up and show their character in the strongest way possible. This technique is used in other mediums with strong character reveals. Marvel are well known for throwing it in, specially in Spider-verse, and some of the MCU Films.... DC however have a bit of a history doing it all wrong.
Use: Use this as a way to reveal a character that is important to the plot or game.
Genre: Title / Subject
Examples:
Bad examples of this are when you clutter up the screen with stupid amounts of information that is irrelevant.
