Research: Film Openings - 9 Frames Title Sequence Analysis (Jodie)



Institutional Analysis: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs (Miller, 2009)

The opening title sequence to a film does not reveal too much but outlines the genre, plot, introduces some characters, sets the scene and creates an initial atmosphere. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs meets this criteria as shown below.



What i have learnt from my institutional Analysis:
  • From the opening the audience has a clear idea that this is not a film based on reality due to the animation and buildings made from food.
  • The choice of setting and music implies the target audience is young children.
  • For this film there were around 18 cast members mentioned during the credits.
  • The title of the film appears towards the end indicating the film is about to begin.
  • Each credit appears in a unique artistic way, which each credit we are shown a new location in the film.
  • The upbeat loud music continues throughout the opening although with the bright colours flashing onto the screen suggesting it is a light-hearted watch.
