I have researched and embedded opening scene's from films. As we will be creating a two minute film, we will need to include titles and a short piece of film. I researched into the many different ways in which the opening scene and titles start;
Toy Story 3
- Titles start and then the movie fades through the titles into the film.
- A piece of film, then the titles and continuation of the film.
- A piece of film (not related to the film), titles and then continuation of the film.
- Titles included into the film.
I have included a range of different opening scene's added below;
Opening Titles;
- Superimposed Title
- Toy Story Logo over the top of cartoon clouds.
- Film starts before the titles come up.
- Many of the characters featured in the film are used in the opening scene
- Standard white text
- Symbolisic of a children targeted film
- Easy to read text
- Melodramatic music by Randy Newman
- Titles fade out and the film starts (not a piece of film that is not related to the starting film eg James Bond car scene)
Due to Youtube removing the previous opening scene from Youtube, I have embedded a video from which i believe as close as possible. Many of the characteristics from the toy story opening scenes are the same through out all Toy Story films.
Skyline
Opening Titles;
- Titles are used to post comments to the audience ("Dont look up" & "Maybe we should have listened")
- Titles are backed up with a high volume of music
- Special effects and animation use to create Futuristic representation.
- Blue titles (blue used earlier in clip - symbolistic of aliens)
- Black background
- Dont use superimposing - sense of the topic needs to take up the whole screen
Spider man 2
Opening Titles;
- Flicking of a Spider man comic book.
- Turns into the Studio title.
- Graphics travel along a web (resemblance of spiders)
- Red background with white font.
- Titles break out into further film information.
- Spinning animation of 'Spider man 2'
