title sequences analysis 19/01/16

“Mission impossible”

The music indicates that it’s a spy film, along with the spy like movements done by characters throughout the sequence the genre is obvious . Key objects such as fast cars, gadgets and guns are shown in the title sequence, the fuse that is continues throughout the sequence is a key action to spies, with explosions being spy/action like it helps the identification of the genre. The fuse is continues and draws the attention the audiences eye, when this fuse is moving names and titles from the film appear, this makes you actually read the names and tiles, unlike boring title sequences that you don't even pay attention to. The title sequences is different than some others, the film begins and mid way through out the acting turning into the title sequence, this is when we can identify the genre. The scenes are shown with all different settings, this helps audience understand what the films about and in this case helps you identify it’s a spy genre.

“Napoleon dynamite”

This title sequence gives off a quirky, unusual vibe when we are first introduced to it. The music played in the background went with the genre, by carefully listing to it I instally knew it was a comedy genre. It’s set in a high school and it’s a light heart funny film, I know this because of the school dinner plates where the characters names are displayed on food plus the bright colours and happier atmosphere makes it light hearted. By the names being on food and there being other random objects automatically indicates that its not a serious film. the target audience is clearly teenagers, I know this because of small key elements I noticed that you wouldn't realise straight away. such as using bright colours and lights, an by laying out differently to other title sequences. stereotypically speaking adults wouldn't find the fun in the creativity, they wouldn't see it as being "mature". where teenagers would find it appealing as they are still practically kids and have that childlike humour.

“Children of men”

I feel as if it’s going to be a hard hitting emotion film, its going to pull on the heart strings. It’s set in the future, a Dystopia film. Set in a dystopia era which is made up, this is because we don’t know how the future is going to be or even look like so it’s not realistic, but by this its intriguing because your now thinking this is how life will be. The police and government indicate that there will be crime and the distressed movement and actions of the people show that its defiantly a drama related film, It has a real life elements to it but then in a way doesn’t seem realistic. The ending of the sequence leaves you on a cliff hanger and makes you become hooked onto the films as well; I do think that the soundtrack helps you become involve in the film due to the real life noises of the fire and footsteps. The sound of the cracking fire is what hooks me onto watch the film.

“Django”

I can tell there are black ethnicity in this by the singing black man thought the sequence. The chains indicates crime, and the genre is western, I know this by the drawing of western elements because of the windmill, horse stables, horse cart, animals and many more. ‘Django Unchained’, this modern western’s title sequence conforms heavily to the stereotypical conventions of western title sequences, which as a group we have decide not to use, however, this opening sequence incoporates them in such a way, that the film fits into the western genre whilst having, to an extent, a sense of style and sohpistication, to this title sequence.
