Analyse two title sequences.

This title sequence if from the film Nerve. It begins straight away with bright colours such as pink and yellow which connotes positiveness. The flashes of change in colour mimic the lights of cities such as Las Vegas, New York etc giving the audience a clue to where this film may be set. This creates a sense of excitement, which is one of the aspects that Kyle Cooper claims makes title sequence's successful. The opening credits are then distributed through the title sequences in various ways, many being through current technology such as iphone imessaging, soundcloud, snapchat etc. This makes it clear that this film is based on modern lifestyle, meaning that the audience will be able to relate and understand to an extent what is happening in the film.                         

The first few seconds of the title sequence of Caroline begins with the credits in the form of a thread sewn into material. This creative way of presenting the opening credits automatically makes the audience assume that the person behind the sewing must be elderly and more so female as stereotypically sewing/knitting is a hobby older people are partake in. Sewing/knitting is a calming, relaxing hobby that immediately sets a tranquil atmosphere in the film opening, along with the soothing music. The scene seamlessly dovetails into the next, the next scene being quite strange and unusual. A window appears and in floats a doll, then captured by a hand made of needles. This scene further confirms that this film is centred around textiles, however despite sewing being a calming, seemingly normal activity, the strange aspect of the hands made of needles creates a sense of confusion and fantasy, implying that the film will not be based on the norm, it will create the sense of escapism through animated characters. The next few scene consists of the hand made of needles creating a doll, using different components such as blue thread for hair and black buttons for eyes to create specific features. This is a unique way of introducing the main character, it poses questions to the audience such as, who is this girl? And why is she being recreated as a doll? From the title sequence it is clear that the genre of the film is mystery, dark fantasy and perhaps a thriller despite it being animation which is more typically popular with younger ages.
