Task 3 - Purpose of a title sequence and film opening...

From the information that I've gathered, I can say that title sequences and film openings are a vital part of a movie or TV programme as it can really entice the audience into the movie/TV programme. It could also illustrate to the audience the plot or even introduce people. A title sequence and film openings really do have a lot of purpose;

This is the title sequence of the movie black widow and
as you can see, their isn't many other colours; only black
and red. The colour red connotes blood and the colour
black signifies mystery and evil. The combination of both
interlock amongst one other and almost give the audience
something to think about.Later on in the title sequence,
there is a picture of a black widow (spider) which is
a play on words and this was not on it coincidently. This
adds effect and makes the consumers experience a lot
better.

• A film opening always tries to minimise the information available to its audience as they would want to keep that for another moment during the period. So how do they attract their audiences in the beginning? Well, they can drop minor clues about the rest of the films narrative and I think this is the most efficient way to start a film.
• It makes us want to keep watching and this could be done in many ways
• It introduces us to the main characters
• It introduces us to the genre and the ways of which this is established is through music and sound which sets the mood and tone. It also does this through the mis-en-scene; setting, lighting and so on.
• It always should and does show the name of the movie
• Most of the time introduces location- where we are in the world
  
  

  

  Pain And Gain- As you can see, the opening of this movie

  already gave the audience something to think about. You 

  can see already that someone is running away from someone 

  and this I believe is a good scene opening if you want to 

  receive maximum satisfaction.
