RESEARCH - Analysing two title sequences.

I choose to analyse the Gone Girl title sequence and found that the movie was presented by 20th century fox and regency enterprises. The soundtrack for the title sequence was quite high pitched with a deep male narrative in the background which gave the audience insight to some of the characters and their relationships in the movie. The gone girl title sequence was also very muted in colour as the picture appeared to have a slight bluey grey tint to it. The title sequence had mainly focused on locations as the audience only got introduced to two character a man and women, these location were shown using a range of shots for example: the shot of the house was shown at a wide long shot. I felt as though the title sequence gave off enough insight to the movie as audience, as the title sequence made me want to find out more about these characters and their relationship as the only narrative we heard from the male character was him stating he wanted to crack open his wife skull suggesting the movie is going to contain some sort of violent relationship.

I also looked at the Scott Pilgrim vs The World title sequence these were very different in appearance which was expected at the genres of both movies are very different. The title sequence appeared to quite a ‘gaming’ vibe as the soundtrack which should the ident (universal) sounded like an old video game. The title sequence had a lot dialogue from about 20 seconds into the title sequence, this dialogue provided the audience with some information about the location, Toronto, Canada and it also gave the audience some information about the character/s like their ages and names this information was also shown on screen in a black box. The title sequence is quite cartoonized as there was some ‘comic book’ effects to it like the ringing of the door bell showing on screen and the ‘one,two,three,four’. The credits had been shown in bold black/white writing in the middle of the screen in front of patterned backgrounds, the background had appeared to move to the soundtrack of ‘the band's’ music.
