Favorites Movie Title Sequence Analysis
A opening title sequence that I find particularly appealing is Iron Man. This is because I'm seamlessly being put into the film. One way the director does is this is through hierarchy. the first element of hierarchy we see is within tony starks costume as he is wearing a tailored suit unlike everyone else who is in military uniform. This connotes that Tony Stark has more power and supremacy in this scene. We also see this in he expensive items that tony stark has such as his high tech phone as well as his glass of whiskey, which is drunk unusually in the desert. This shows that Tony stark is also wealthy as the high tech must be expensive.
Another way the director makes this title sequence appealing is by using an up-tempo beat and blending it with various shots that gives us the connotations of something leading to going wrong. It starts with the rockstarish music playing in the background in an army vehicle and is then followed by a bit of comedic dialogue. This lead to shocking the audience as there is an explosion which is a direct juxtaposition of what the audience think is going to happen. the explosion is a action that builds tension and builds up the storyline. Also, the use of a middle eastern like setting which Is sandy and dusty also is a code and convention of the genre of this film. Action. This lead seamlessly into the films plot with tony stark being kidnapped and becoming iron man.
