Analysis of Title sequences:

The incredible Hulk 2008;

The title sequence for the incredible Hulk was so effective because of the creative devices that were used. The first shot is of a red button flashing danger. This immediately engages the audience.  There were shots of newspapers and documents claimed as classified. This made the audience intrigued as to what the documents were about. It also showed the evolution of the hulks DNA and blood cells but in a very abstract way showing the chemical reaction taking place. This was visually pleasing to watch but also informative of the adaptations of the character. As well as this, it showed the scientific aspect of the film and suggested The Hulk was the result of an experiment. There is a point of view shot from The Hulks perspective  of him gazing at a female scientist who is behind the glass. This indicates towards  a romantic subplot that will be explored within the film.  A close up shot of  the x rays of his brain and body creates narrative enigma. The colour green is included throughout the title sequence which is effective because it is key iconography as that colour is largely associated with the Hulk. In addition to this there is a fast paced soundtrack flowing through the Title sequence which helps to build tension for the audience. A voiceover is also included to give a description of what has taken place.

Love actually:

The title sequence is very unconventional because it doesn’t incorporate any of the characters into it. However, using archive footage and through a variety of shots it shows different couples reuniting in Heathrow airport.. The types of shots that are included are two shots and long shots. This explores the importance of relationships and human connection. There is a subtle nostalgic soundtrack along with a voiceover using the voice of one of the characters that is actually included in the film, he is describing the significance of each shot but moreover the significance of love. This gives an overview of the narrative and the themes that run through.
