Coraline Title Sequence

This is the third and final opening sequence of a film which I analysed. This film was once again a different genre to the other two films which I had analysed and it was also a cartoon/digital film aimed at completely different audiences than JUNO and Captain America and with all three analysis' of the film I had recieved a various ideas about different films and how the opening sequences are shot.



1sec: Focus features present
7secs: A laika production
13secs: In association with Pandemonium
15-17secs: Fade to and from a black screen
17secs: Main title Coraline
22-43: Cast Names x's 8
44-46: Black screen
48secs: Lead animators

1.55: Director of photography
2.00: Produced by
2.11: Produced by
2.14: Based on the novel by
2.19: Written for the screen and directed by

The animation style and type of film is introduced/shown to the audience throughout the opening sequence.
Music is played throughout the openining sequence from start to finish and fades out in the end. The music played at the start of the sequence gives off a creepy feel and the music could be used to aappeal to a certain audience.

Captain America: The First Avenger - Title Sequence

This is another film opening sequence analysis. It is a different genre from the previous opening sequence I analyses, I did this so I could get different ideas on how film opening sequences are shown through different genres. The film I had chosen was Captaib Ameria: The First Avenger


3secs: Directed by  
9secs: Screenplay by
15secs: Produced by
20secs: Executive producers x's 3

2.06: Paramount pictures and marvel entertainment present
2.12: A marvel stuios production
2.18: A film by
2.24: Main title - Captain America

Music is being played all throughout the opening seqeunce and fades out at the end

The images used throughout were propaganda posters and such from World War 2. The music played throughout the sequence is old fashioned and, the style makes the audience feel like they are in the 1940s, and maybe the audience could feel nostalgic where it could be the type of music they like or used to hear their parents maybe listen to.

JUNO Title Sequence

This is an analysis of the opening sequence of a non-thriller film. I did so to see how films were shown through an opening sequence and how it could help us when making our opening sequence. The film i picked to analyse was JUNO.

0-20 secs: Animation Sequence And At The End Juno Comes On Screen and music starts
21secs: First Title - Fox Search Light Pictures Present
27secs: A Mandate Pictures Mr Mudd Production
32secs: A Jason Reitman Film

2.29: Opening sequence ends and the music fades our

The settings of the film is introduced to us through the opening sequence
Music/Title starts from the beginning and then fades out at the end of the opening sequence. The msuic starts of calm and relaxed and gives off the feel of an indie film, also that it could be low budget. With music playing it can be used to appeal to a niche audience, maybe people who listen to indie music or enjoy those types of films
