Pick a favourite film and analyse the title sequence

The film I have chosen to analyse is Titanic. The title sequence starts of with titles over moving images and integrates slowly on to titles using animation or/and motion.
There is a clear contrast between the images which are being used and font of the credits. the images are in slow motion with a added sepia filter on them to give a simple but effective tone to the film, whilst the font is very straight bold and simple, this integrates the title sequence.
This also adds a certain harsh tone which disfigures the motion of the pictures, this is done to show the narrative or storyline of the film. It is also done to foreshadow the these harsh events which are going to be present in the film.
This also adds to the genre of the film which can be identified as disaster, drama, romance. This hybrid of genres is determined through the use of the contrasting credits and moving pictures.

The music also compliments the moving images to add a soft tone to the film, it also makes the film dramatic and enhances the atmosphere of the film.
The music also synchronises with moving pictures, this adds tone of the genres of the film (romance) as it creates a mellow atmosphere.

The title 'TITANIC' fades away at the end to foreshadow the plot of the film and to also question the prior knowledge that the audience has about the film and its context.The text is in white and outlined with a gold colour to create a classy feel to the film, the gold especially reminds of the boat/ship as the sepia filter on the previous shots emphasises this.

The typography of the production company is presented in a sophisticated Times New Roman which stereotypically appeals to an older audience. This text is located in the left hand side of the screen so it does not interfere with the shot. Moreover, the use of the white typography in the opening sequence connotes purity which reflects on the narrative as the main character Rose in the film is portrayed as pure and innocent.

The only credits used at the beginning of the film are the film company and the production company. No actor's names or the director's names are used, this is done to add to the tension of the film, and to also create a serious and tense atmosphere.
