Question Time (1974)

Concept and creative process

Opening titles for a topical debate in which guests from the worlds of politics and the media answered questions posed by members of the public. The production eschewed an opening title sequence although it had a musical introduction and a perfectly good logo formed from a Q within a Q within a Q, which was incorporated in the set design behind the chairman, Magnus Magnusson. Instead a wide shot of the seven guests and chairman grouped around a large table was preferred as a background to the credits, which were on 35mm black and white slides and cued in from the production gallery over the wide shot.
