My favourite film: 22 Jump street
I chose to analyse one of my favourite sequel film to 21 jump street as i thought the title sequence was engaging, informative and successfully done. The plot idea of the title sequence was for the boss to pitch ideas for sequels to this movie to the two main characters. There were 20 full scale movie posters (photoshopped) shown, continuing the trilogy of "21 jump street", as well as making fun of the two sequels that were actually made. The two main characters are perceived in many different ways as many different characters.
Throughout the title sequence a soundtrack is used exclusive to the film, but as well dialogue over the soundtrack. As well sound effects such as explosions are used to make some scenes more dramatic. However most of it is meant to make the audience laugh as it is a comedy and is successful in doing so.
The full size poster is shown in one shot but then is zoomed in so we can see the characters in more details and credits are aligned with the moving image. The movement of each shot with each poster is fast but some scenes require slow motion. Main characters are incorporated in nearly all scenes and each scene with a different movie plot uses codes and conventions of the genre they are based on but as well making fun of them too. There are clear, bright lighting on each poster but the colours and settings for each are based on the genre they are based on. With each scene there is a different location accept one where they keep cutting back to the main characters in the office. This all engages the audience to stay till the end of the movie and see the credits of the movie. It also gets the audience thinking on what plot they want the most and interact with the movie. Lastly, it lets teh audience see who the actors, crew and distributers are.
Moreover, credits are shown throughout the title sequence. They are included in the moving images and aligned with the sound.
The order of the credits:
- Directers
- screen play/ story writers
- creator of the television series
- exclusive/ executive producers
- Director of photography
- production designers
- editors
- actors/ actresses
- casting crew
- costume designers
- music producer/ music superviser
- co-producer
- Ident
