This opening sequence was not a title sequence because it showed the beginnings of the plot. The first sound you hear in this scene is the noise of the waves crashing on the sand. then small normal non dramatic writing appears in the centre of the screen. this font had a slight shadow behind it, this connects it to the name of the movie. This writing said, " Columbia pictures presents". This is done so it looks out of place and odd. Next you hear the sound of a boy playing with a boy and his breathing. More writing comes on screen, the font they used was the same as the previous righting. This shows consistency. The sound of the boy stopped then unsetting non-diegetic music started to play. This was done so the thing on screen would be focused on and related to something scary. The music dies down as he looks at the helmet. You can now hear diegetic sounds of birds and him breathing. When is cuts to a black screen creepy music is all that you can hear then the title of the film slowly fades in. This writing is simple and doesn't make you think its a thriller but with the music it makes the title seem like something to be feared.
Mad Max: Fury Road:
This opening starts of with the sound of a mans
voice without any images. His voice sounds serious and old, (like he's been through a lot). Then the sound of screams and gun fire along with a old, maybe broken radio in the background. Then you hear lots of different people like presenters talking about killings and the world chaos. There are also sounds of static.
While this is begin said there is writing stating the main actors of the film. This writing is placed is a slightly random placing with two different fonts. One for the names of the actors (that looks rough and has the texture of a rotting or broken wall, with a light brown colour) and one for the characters names (that looks scratchy and jagged with a red colour). This is done so the staring actors/actresses are addressed and this causes more popularity of the film. The fonts are like that so it shows that this film will be rough and it connects it to an acton film. When the screen goes back again the mans voice comes back telling the audience about his past life. The next sounds are of reporters talking about how mankind has gone rouge, with the sounds of explosions, sirens and scratchy noises in the background.
Gone Girl:
At the beginning of this opening the first thing you hear is a eire music then small writing comes one the screen for a brief moment. This makes the views think it's odd and spooky. As the music goes on and the small writing comes on and off the screen a man beings to talk in a relaxed tone talking about his wife. Theres a slight eco behind his voice. His tone is one that makes you think he's creepy and a sociopath because what he's saying doesn't match his tone. The music starts to grow louder to highlight the importance in what he's saying.
