I have posted this because I want to show the reader the different film openings that are used to get the viewer interseted in the film, before it starts and we are going to make a 2 minute film opening so we need all of the information on how to create a good opening title as possible.
This is a trailer of the film 'Finding Nemo' which is just a fantastic kids film.
The opening starts towards the end of the film giving you a quick clip which catches your attention and makes you giggle abit when the sea gulls say 'Mine'.
After this, the song 'some where behond the sea' starts, which automatically tells you the film is set under the sea and is a kids film when the title 'Pixar animation' appears, and gives you a quick summary of the films that they have produced.
Half way through the trailer the song 'I come from a land down under' starts, which definatly tells the audience that the clown fish as to travel to Australia to find his son ,Nemo.
The font size for the Walt disney are very large and the castle in the background instantly draws you attention so that you as the audience knows that this is another disney classic. Followed by the infamous Pixar films logo which is in capitals so you know that it is a major corporation but not in bold becuase the corporation is so huge they don't need to tell people who they are. Because the film is shot under water there are lots of bright vibrent colours, which grabs the childrens attention instantly. The use for the different films that Pixar have made is important becuase it tells the audience that they have made some of the best childrens animated films of all time. Finally the use of huge words coming out of the screen tell the children what the film is about by shoving it in their face so they will go to see it when it comes out.
This is a film called 'After Life' which is about a woman who thinks she is alive after an accident and is told that she is dead.
The opening starts off with mortition examing a body and reading out the signs that she is dead, which is when the bodies eye's open and say's 'I'm not dead' which is a start of a weird, yet fantastic pycological Thriller, which questions the womens exictance to be alive or dead.
When the trailer is being shown there are no words or corportations shouting there name at you becuase the film makers want you to enjoy every uninterrupted second becuase this might be a subtle hint that it is a complecated film. A the end of the trailer the words 'AFTER LIFE' appear in a blood red colour with a white background telling the audience that it is a thriller film straight away.
This film is called 'Death at a Funeral' which is a comedy of a funeral which doesn't go to plan.
The opening starts off with touching respectful music, until it gets inside and the son say's 'who is this' and the organiser of the funeral says 'I ask myself that say question who is this man'. when the son say's 'that's not my father' which opens ups the film of a series of funny events which takes place throughout the film.
The trialer starts off with funeral music in the background being played very loundly becuase it instantly tells the audiecne that it is a film about a funeral. As the words 'greif does stastrange thing TO PEOPLE' ON THE on the words TO PEOPLE tthat is a subtle hnt that the film will be ppacked with comedy and humour all of the way becuase funeral's effect people in a different way. The tiltles are very basic because it distracts from the main story line of the film.
