Love Actually Opening Sequence

 

 This is the instutional Logo, showing that this is a 'UNIVERSAL' who are the creaters of the film, same as Warner Brothers etc. The colour of this logo is very useful and this shows the Earth which is in a bright blue and also the font is in a thick white which stands out with the black background, so this will make it clear the the audience what and who the institution logo are.

The first opening to this sequence is introducing the Institutional Logo which is the 'Universal Pictures'. As you can see from this image on the left, the colours our represented to be red and white to show that this film is a very romantic and also reflects to the audiences from the female prospective. This is the same for the title. During this clip there is a voice over which explains the situation which is being shown, this is showing familie's and friends who they have not seen in a long time meeting again showing the love they have, these are not actors or actresses, these are real people showing that Love is all around.

This Credit show shown to emphasise the title of the film
which is 'Love Actually' and the colours which are white and red to show happiness and also love that is all around.

The first opening sequence i am introducing is the film Jaws. The first title which introduced it self is what company the film comes from, so this is the 'UNIVERSAL AN MCA COMPANY'. 

This first screen shot shows how the title first introduce itself, there is a point of view shot under water which tell's the audience that this is a unanswered question throughout the beginning. There is non-digectic music in the background which tells their is a dark presence underneath the water. The Jaws title shows that this is a very bold which also stands out, and using the white colour font, this stands out from the background which engages the audience to build suspense. 

As the camera is moving faster and faster underneath the water and the non-digectic music building up faster and faster, this is builder tension and a great suspense to the audience. Which the credits popping up which shows the audience a idea on who's the actors and directors of the film. 

The the non-diegetic music, this cuts into a scene showing a bunch off teenagers doing stuff which they are not aloud to be doing. There is a pan shot showing all different types of teenagers smoking, kissing etc. This tells the audience that the audience are very young so they will do stuff which is illegal.
