Art of the Title

The Incredibles

We can draw many things from The Incredibles title sequence. For example, the jagged edges of the text and character animations, suggest danger and fast paced action. The element of danger is further achieved through the great use of the colour red and by the sharp movements, leaving the viewer almost dazed. The music also creates an action packed atmosphere. The animation cleverly links one character tho another, who quickly does their own little piece before linking it to the next one. After the main, more interesting bit, the sequence goes into a more classic moving credits list, but with little animations to keep the viewer happy to watch.



This is England

The title sequence for This is England instantly lets you know what era you are in by first of showing some iconic clips of footage from the time (1980s). The footage being shown starts of more friendly, but some of the clips shown begin to get more violent as the sequence continues, changing the viewers mood as the sequence goes on. Some of the more violet images being shown, contrast greatly with the music being played which is very upbeat. At some points the images make the viewer feel some nostalgia, however this is broken by images of war, violence and even death.


Juno

As the title sequence begins for Juno, the main character and the world around her is turned into animation as she steps past a tree. This tree almost acts as a gateway into the title sequence. The title sequence prepares us for the movie by giving us an insight into the main character (Juno)'s life. As she walks down the streets, we see places she might go such as the shops, objects like guitars and even some other characters. The animation itself is quite qwerky, being made to look almost as if it was drawn and gives of a happy atmosphere. At the end of the title sequence the animation also stops as what Juno was doing in the title sequence, then flows into the main story line.
