Title Analysis
Gone Girl
The first title i watched was Gone Girl. What first attracted my attention was the haunting sound track that played throughout the duration of the title; it was slow paced, low in volume and contrasted to the sinister dialogue of Ben Affleck's voice over. The voice over was sinister and teased the audience by talking about his wife's hair and head, but then how he wanted to 'crush her skull'. The female character's face is hidden until the end of the voice over when she looks up seductively; suggesting that theirs is a sexually intensive relationship. The slow paced editing of the suburban setting establishes their marriage, their house, and the separation that the husband has from the home.
Bronson
The second title was Bronson, Played by Tom Hardy. This title contrasted to the first in that there was a noticeable lack of sound track. This had a really interesting effect on me as the audience because the fear and power that was created in the character was stronger due to the scilence. The opening scenes are red and black in colour schemes connoting a sense of fear and danger in our lead character. The Bronson character is fully naked and is seen punching and fighting the air around him, the mise en scene here shows just how important Bronson is as it is just him alone in the shot.
Catch me if you can
The opening title sequence of this 2002 film is very different to the other two n the sense that it was a cartoon format. All of the images are related to in the film, such as a doctor and a pilot. The pastel colour codes relate to a 1960s era, and a retro feel. The cartoon feel of the opening credits, suggests the subject content of the film is more family friendly than the other films which are more sinister
The Huntsman- Winters War
This opening credit was interesting as it used symbols and motifs that relate to the story, for example, a crown and shard of glass. The shattering of this suggests things in the film may fall apart or be broken. The colour of gold, used suggests wealth and status. The use of images and motifs links In to 'Catch me if you can', and shows me that you don't have to use charaters in your opening titles, you can be more astract
