1. This image shows some patriotism, which would
be linked to the name of the movie (Captain
America)
The name of the movie stands out from the
background colour as they want to make the
name mean something. Red, white and blue
are used as the name has relevance to
America.
The names of the
production
companies are in
red colour so that
they stand out and
that there is some
variation during the
title sequence.
Names of characters
are not as clear as the
production companies
but they are there in
the title sequence to
show a sense of
consistency
throughout it.
This is a challenged stereotype as the image in the title
sequence shows a woman tensing her muscles maybe meaning
that woman are superior to men in this movie.
Cartoon effect is used to show that some old propaganda during the war,
which could be seen as setting the time frame.
2. This image shows the audience that there is going to be
a lot of action as there is a gun being shot but we don’t
know what to, this gives a lot of questions to be asked.
This would be expected from a lot of action movies like
James bond.
The name of the movie is shown quite clearly with a bold
and serious font which would be linked to the subgenre as
this is also represented as serious.
Deep focus is used to show how the characters stands
out and is a lot more superior to everyone else.
This shows that there will be many
female characters in the movie who could
may be seen as being used for sexual
purposes towards the main character.
Name of characters are clearly shown
and stand out from any of the other
texts in that image to attract attention
to who's starring in the movie.
3. Shows that there will be action in the
movie which would be expected from this
subgenre for a crime thriller.
The blood shows that
there will be crimes
committed but there is
no reveal of who has
done it leaving many
questions to be answered
but this is done to create
narrative enigma.
Images of the main
characters are shown
in the title sequences
along with their
names which usually
doesn’t happen so
this would be seen as
rather random as it is
giving information
away to the audience
already.
The name of the
movie is in an old
font and is styled in
an old type of way.
This shows the difference between characters as on the left you have a working class
and on the right you have a high class standard person, this is used to show that
there may be some sort of hatred between the two and cold be used to link with
what happens later on in the movie.
The black and white colours add to the mysterious
tone of the title sequence . These would be used as
the movie is a thriller type of movie.
4. Names of main characters are shown on
their own to show some superiority over
other characters, showing the audience the
names of the big characters to attract
attention towards the movie
This could show the audience an insight to what the main
props would be in the movie and what kind of era the
movie is set in.
This image with a soldier holding a gun in
military gear shows that there will be action in
the movie and most likely death as it is in the
war genre.
Image of young children could show that people are losing
families or are having to move away from them due to what
else is shown in the frame.
The filter colour of red shows that there could be a
lot of hatred, anger and death as this is what this
colour is associated with like hell for example this is
what the people could be going through.
5. The title of the film is shown in a very plain way as all
the frame consists of is just the title of the movie along
with the background of a river, this may be related to
the characters personality which could be shown as
very plain.
The names of the characters are shown as
bold by using the white text and black
background this would be done like this as
the genre is a thriller and they tend to give
too much away at the beginning.
High angle is used to show that the woman
doesn’t have much say in things and is not as
strong and dominant as the man is shown.
The man is shown to be very dominant and strong as he is standing
out the front of his house looking around and then turns around to
enter, this may not mean much at the start but later on through the
movie it will have some relevance.
The names of the characters
and staff continue to show
through each scene to show
some consistency.
