The art of the title

I watched Pacific Rim (Guillermo Del Toro 2013)

·        Very dark colours, very technological, very masculine

·        The CGI in the opening credits show scenes of fighting which look like they are going to be in the film

·        The shots that appear in the opening sequence look very metallic to put more emphasis on the fact that there are robots

Pacific Rim

I then watched the opening for the film Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (Brad Silberling 2004)

• the opening was very foreshadowing it showed clips of things that were going to happen later on in the movie
• the people in the opening looked like they were puppets which could be saying that they don't have control over themselves that someone else is controlling them
• there is also an eye which keeps appearing in all the clips which could be to say that the children are being followed or watched where ever they go

I then decided to watch the opening for Reservoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino 1992)

• the opening introduces all the main characters that are going to be in the film and who they are played by
• the music is very catchy and makes me want to continue watching to see what happens
• the shots are establishing shots which go one after the other to introduce all the characters
