Task 6 - Analysing 2 title sequence.

Analysis of 2 title sequence

21 Jump Street Title Sequence.

I have decided to analyse 21 jump street as my first favorite title sequence. Looking into this movie, I can state that the background music played is non-diegetic and it seems like a dancing style music, this signifies that the movie is comedy because the music is at a fast pace which seems like the music played at teenagers parties, also the lyrics "jump" is occasionally repeated where this makes the audience feel excited as the music grabs their attention. The font used at this title sequence is in capital letters and the colour of the font is white, the colour white normally signifies innocence and purity. The fact that the colour white is used at this film is simple and smart, this is because this film is about two policemen and a polices job is mainly to find criminals, as a result these two policemen may have be dealing with the innocent victims. From my perspective, the font may be a small hint which shows this to me. Furthermore, at times bright colours were used in the title sequence, this creates a sense of excitement because it is not like a horror genre with dark colours used at the background. Often the colours red and blue appear from sirens, this tells me that this matches with the two main characters as both of them are police's.

My second title analysis is on the girl with the dragon tattoo, I have chosen this because it is a interesting title sequence. In my opinion this is a technology based film because during the title sequence I came along with a keyboard and wires as they were covered in ink. The fact that they are covered in dark might show me that technology can be a negative impact on our society. Also there was people covered in black and the colour black connotes danger and depression and the fact that the person is surrounded with black ink may represent that the person may be stressed and depressed who is suffering. Moreover, during this title sequence I came along with chained up persons where this simply show me that the film can be violent because chaining up a person is harming someone and this is extremely violent. This title sequence does not just represent violence, it also represents danger and death as there was a scene of a skeleton inside the fire. The burning image of skeleton  shows that someone in the film can come along with the same situation. We have come along with mainly the dark side of the film as this shows that this is a horror/thriller genre. Looking into the font it is white bold writing which stands out, the fact that it is white may reflect on the innocence of characters. The rock music used in this title sequence is non-diegetic, it is extremely loud with very fast pace which grabs the audience's attention. Furthermore, the fact that ink is used a lot may be linked with the films title as its The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and tattoo is mainly ink where this is a hint. Finally we do not come along a main character in the title sequence, as every character is covered in ink, this creates suspense because the audience does not know who is in the film and what the movie could be about.
