For this task I decided to choose the title sequences for Pitch Perfect and Spring Breakers as I have already seen these films so I would be able to compare how the title scene relates to the rest of the film.
I found the title sequence of Spring Breakers on a website called 'Art of the title'. The title sequence is quite fast paced which can foreshadow action and drama and can be used to engage the audience from the offset and make them more interested. It is quite a creative title sequence as it's quite bold and eye catching.
However, nothing really stands out from this opening sequence as it is just text and music. The title scene doesn't do much to introduce the genre because of it's lack of image but the quick and quirky display of the text can give us, the viewer, an idea of what the rest of the film will be like. Also, the typography of the text could show some aspects of the film as it looks like lit up signs for bars and clubs. This is an example of one of the credits in this title sequence.
The music is quite good as some of the lyrics can display the thoughts of some of the characters during the film. For example 'the lights won't stop me'.
Before the title sequence there's a short opening scene in which you see some of the main characters singing on stage. In this scene, one of the main characters ends up being sick on stage which grabs the viewers attention and makes them want to know what's going to happen next.
From the very start of the pitch perfect opening sequence we can see that the film is related to music as you see the pitch bars on her laptop moving to the beat of the music which is playing. I think this is quite good as it shows what the film will be about. I think it's quite eye catching as the bright colours stand out from the black back ground and the bars move around to show different credits.
