Research: Film openings - 9 frames Title sequence analysis (Jenitha)

Institutional Analysis- Iron Man

I made a timeline for the title sequence of Iron Man, which includes the titles and shows what time they appear and also an audio line showing the music/sounds used throughout the sequence. The opening title to a film is to reveal the genre, plot, some of the main characters, to create an atmosphere and some settings that will be involved in the rest of the film and Iron Man meets this criteria. 

What i have learnt from my institutional Analysis:

• For this film the main actor was shown right at the beginning and the director John Favreau, 6 seconds after the main actor was shown. 
• Within the 21 seconds into the opening, there was the names of the producer, executive producer and the director of the film and the director of photography was mentioned. 
• In the background of the credits there was images of the action shown that the film will contain, for example explosions and etc. 
• The soundtrack that plays in the background creates a very dramatic atmosphere for the audience and it fades out in the end when the action fades out as well.
