Task 1-title sequences.

Opening sequences
The movie cant exist without the opening sequence, and the opening sequence cant exist without the movie.The purpose of title sequences is for it to draw you in from your own world and pull you into a world where all you have to do is watch. The use of a title sequences creates almost a movie within a movie and immediately engages the audience, it makes them stop what they are doing and simply watch. The title sequence is there to invite the audience into the film and to entertain them as the film is about to begin, it tells a story of what is to happen in the film.

In Zombieland the text used is different to other films as it is simple not to over power the image as the images them self were all ready good, the simple text helped to characterise each of the scenes, it brought a comedic effect to the opening sequence of the film as the simple text entertained the audience in the opening sequences, as they saw the text moving across the screen.

In the opening sequence of blue valentine, they have tried to show that there is love even though they may think it has gone it is still actually there. They have taken the lens off the camera in order to create a blurred perception, this could help engage the audience into thinking what is actually love? during these opening titles and whether they will find the true perception of love in the movie or even in the opening title. The use of fireworks could be being used to show the rush off emotions that are being felt, but quickly fade once the film begins. The use of stills helped the audience to create a bond with the characters before the film had even begun, making the whole film a much more emotionally engaging film.
