Detailed Analysis of Opening Sequences



Edward Scissorhands - The film Edward Scissorhands’ opening titles are showing you round the castle that Edward lives in and shows you various inventions that will come up during the movie. The music fits the film very well I think because the music sounds like you’re in a fantasy, which is relevant to the film due to it being a fantasy film. At the beginning of the titles it will show you the director and then shows you the name of the film and this is showing people at the beginning that this is a Tim Burton film (the director).  Also when the title of the film comes up it will begin to separate which is laying it out as though they are scissors, which is giving it out that the film is about scissors.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - In the opening titles for Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street it is all dark and mysterious and it is all computer generated. While going through all the peoples names it will show you images that are about the film such as; the barber chair, tray of pies etc. At the beginning it also does a pan shot of old London and it raining and sometimes you will get glances of rain drops that are actually blood so it will give away that this film has something to do with blood and also that the film is most likely going to be gory.


The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 - In the opening sequence for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 it begins with a white screen and the production name in an old fashioned red font which could resemble blood, after about 3 seconds it changed to a more pure font, like a modern white font, which is like cold. This would suggest that the girl in the film had pumping blood round her body but now she is a vampire she has turned cold. Also during the opening sequence it shows different long shots of the nature around the little town the film is based on, and all of them are white but then turn into blood, this could do this because she is hungry for blood so its went from all white and pure to red and evil.
