Analysis of title sequence

Coraline (2009): I picked the title sequence from Coraline as the animation skills are one of the best and is nice to look at, as well as this the film itself is good. The title sequence starts of with the credits of the production company and the main characters. They are displayed as if they are sewn onto a fabric. The title 'Coraline' is then seen and it also looks as if it is sewn. Also a button replaces the letter 'O' in 'Coraline. After this all the names of the animators, supervisors, editors, producers, the author and director are seen. Behind this a short animation is seen in the background where are person is creating a new doll from another doll, which had flown through a window and then the new doll flies out of the window. As well as this the music playing in the background seems quite Gothic and dark, but also quite childish as there were children singing in the background and it sounded quite like a lullaby, which may suggest who the film's target audience is.

Romeo+Juliet (1996): I have chosen the title sequence from Romeo+Juliet as it is written by one of my favorite play writer William Shakespeare and the story line is well written. The title sequence of Romeo+Juliet starts of with an old TV set which displayed the production companies name on the screen, as well as this a reporter was then shown and her dialogue introduces the sequence and tells the audience what has occurred in the film before the whole film. After this the location of where the film's set is shown in big, white, bold writing. Also dramatic music is heard and there are cuts to show the location in more depth. The music then stops playing and a man's dialogue is heard where he repeats the story line again and what the audience should expect. The dramatic music plays again and this time the characters name and role are shown in a big, white and bold font. Also the audience is shown how the characters look like behind their role. However unlike many title sequences, the real name of the cast are not shown. Lastly the title and Shakespeare's name is displayed in a white, bold writing.
