- The title sequence I chose to analyse was the film Juno. I chose this because
I have seen the film and its very indie style and stereotypically indie title
sequences are very interesting rather than jam packed with big font that grabs
your attention.
This is the first part of the title sequence, rather than
any ordinary sequence that would normally have writing straight away; it starts
with a very jolly catchy song which instantly makes you feel grabbed into the
film. This is a long shot as it shows her whole length of her body as well as a
background. The colour that stands out straight away and is the focal point of
this print screen is her red coat, which could indicate a sign of love… or
maybe even death or evil. However, basing it on the music of how jolly it is
you instantly feel happy so the indication is more love.
This second screen shot is
similar to the other one, however, it shows two completely different picture
which is separated by the tree stump. This could indicate she is living in two
different worlds, one that’s a
fantasy (the sketch part) and then a normal life
(the normal part), although, there is something in the way (the tree) that
might be getting in the way. This shot is still a long distance as it has her
whole body in it.
Here is another print screen I
have chosen to analyse from the film Juno. This one is very different to the
first one, yet it’s very similar. It’s very different in the fact it’s much more
artistic, which makes it feel more emotionally happier as the colours are much
more vibrant and bold. However, the reason why it’s very similar is because
it’s still of her carrying the same bottle with the same red coat, it’s just
been made into an artistic appearance.
This print screen is much more
different than the other three as it’s a different camera angle. This time it
seems to be at a low angle making her look bigger and if you look in
perspective that she is bigger than the house. Also the background isn’t very
detailed and mainly is like a sketch, the only detail is her body which makes
her the focal point of the shot.
This shot looks as if you’re in front of her and actually
looking at her. I think this screen shot is very interesting as it looks as if
she is walking into the darkness which could give hints about the future. I
still like how they have made her the focus by having a lot of detail and the
background is very sketchy and dull.
I like this screen shot as its much more close up than the
others which gives you more detail on what she actually looks like. The
background also has a lot more detail which takes away the focal point away
from her. The expression on her face makes me think that there is something on
her mind which makes you want to keep watching.
This screen shot is very interesting as it doesn’t show her
face which it has done in the last screen shots I have done. This time the
focal point is the water bottle because the yellow colour is very vibrant which
stands out. This is another close up as you can’t see her whole body, whereas
the other one was on her face this time this close up is on her feet.
Lastly this screen shot is very
different to all the others. It’s at a much different camera angle than all the
others as this is a high angle shot. It’s like you’re looking into her life and
it makes her look very vulnerable and small which could indicate how she feels
in the film.
