The Batman
The opening sequence of batman begins quickly capture the audience by exciting them right from the start this is done by a dark cloudy background with a swarm of bat flying along the screen with a high pitched sound of bats, in the distance eventually makes the globally known batman logo. If you have never watched batman, the dark and quite evil look start may confuse you as it would is not typical of a superhero movie to have such a menacing look.
Two children who we straight away assume are protagonist are then introduced playing around with a blurred camera shot with a fast moving pan we watch then running through the gardens. the spped of the pan helps to bring the audience into movie and feel as if they are running with characters. this is key as it create a sense of supense as we are supsecting something on the other side. The children are dressed in general clothes common to children of there age helping the audience identify and possibly relate to the characters.
When Bruce falls into a well the camera then focuses on a dark hole within the well to evoke the same feeling fear of what we are about to see, from the audience we then are alarmed as a swarm of bats fly out at the screen. A high angle shot from the top of the well allows us to understand how far he has fallen.
After this ordeal that he has just gone through we see a close of a new character who we can only assume is an older version of bruce, this then make us think that the previous scene was only a dream which he does later confirm. Bruce then goes on to get up and and get his food walking in foriegn prison he then get is to a fight by using over the shoulder shot we can see as if we as there with bruce which help involve us in the movie. with the use of jump cut is mean that we can then get the feeling of fast pace action constantly switching between views
I think the music or the lack of music is very effective in this title sequence, as many movie music signals when something good obad is about to take place via changes in the music. i think that this title sequences engages you from start to finish with fast pace action constantly, consistently giving us a a high intensity
Juno
the movie starts off with the proganist walking with a massive bottle of Sunny D she then come to a tree were the character changes to a rotoscoped animated version of the same character. straight away we can tell the character attitudes to life with he slouching also she sways the drink as she walks giving a laid back impression. In addition we can tell she's not a typical young teenage girl as she is wear loose fitting quite baggy clothing telling us that she will not be a fashion conscious stereotypical pretty girl.
the tiltle sequences tell us alot about the character, we can tell she is not a serious character and instead she is care-free character. The title sequence also helps us establish the genre is most likely to be a comedy or maybe a rom-com. Also, the animation effect helps keep a young atomosphere intact engaging the target audience.
The soundtrack in the title sequence is very light hearted country style of music which runs with the atmosphere of the title sequence.
In the opening sequence there is a lot of editing that is used to create the final animated effect but I think considering the movies target audience it is suitable as a animated title sequence would not suit and something such as a war drama the name of the actors are all show in a handed drawn style so in follow with the rest of the title sequence.
Through the title squence juo wanders through the streets she almost look lost but instead I think she looks quite happy without a care in the world. I like the techniques used in this sequences and may you some elements in my own title sequence.
