Analyse 2 film sequences

Analyse 2 film sequences


The first title sequence that I watched was the Box trolls movie. The significance that the first shot is a box troll sliding down a sewer pipe allows the viewer to understand that they have hidden themselves really deep underground to avoid humans from seeing them. The opening sequence also provides you with key information, a few are that: box trolls use boxes to hide themselves in when a human is near, they are hunted by three men , box trolls are smart but clumsy creatures. One important fact that is clearly shown in the opening sequence is that box trolls are very good at using scraps to produce something incredible such as the farers wheel in the 4-5th shot. This particular sequence gives you a feeling of adventure as well as some childish humour. The soundtrack was difficult to understand but it complements the sense of adventure that is portrayed by the animation. I believe that the soundtrack was a way to provide the audience with an insight on how box trolls perceive human beings.

The second opening sequence I watched was mission impossible: ghost protocol. This opening is a large contrast on the box troll’s. It immediately shows you the star of the film but also the team he leads. The complexity of the missions the team does is clearly portrayed by the way the wire has been cleverly been used as it passes many areas in which would be difficult to have entered; e.g. thick bars, under water, in guarded building etc. The wire passes through many different environments and snippets of the movie with the main character and his team (gives an insight on what is going to take place). You can gain a feeling the genre and tone of the film by how fast the wire is burning, flicking through different places and causing the viewer to anticipate the bomb to finally explode. The soundtrack also assists in the title sequence’s aim for its viewers to understand that this film is an action as it is upbeat but tension filled.
