The document analyzes the opening titles of the film "Semi-Permanent Sydney 2015". The titles use white text on a dark background, setting a mysterious tone. As the door opens in the titles, it signifies the photographer opening the door to the rest of the film. Throughout, the music builds intensity and the shots grow wider, suggesting the main character will experience something extraordinary. The use of lighting through a gap portrays there is something beyond what is shown, and the ending title continues the theme of opening up to the rest of the story in an unusual way that entices the audience.

1. Semi-Permanent Sydney
2015 – Analysis.

2. The use of the white titling in the first sequence contrasts with the dark
background, just presenting the name of the film, with uniquely
positioned numbers to represent the year it was made. This automatically
sets the scene that this film will be mysterious/action based or of a darker
nature.

3. As the photographers titling is presented as the door is opening it
denotes to the audience that the photographer is opening the door
to the rest of the film (this being the doors opening of what appears
will be space). Keeping the audience intrigued.

4. As the film continues, the background music begins to get more intense,
along with a wider picture of what may happen. Throughout the film
introduction, they have kept the continuity of the white titling, giving it a
professional image, however more a brighter has now been added to the
background, which may mean that the astronaut in white (which may
have connotations of his innocence) is going to experience something
extraordinary. (shown in the picture below as the clip carry's on
unravelling)

5. The use of the lighting through the gap, portrays to the audience that
there is something beyond the whole. Due to the titling being set with
more than just one name, it shows that the introduction is coming to
an end and the rest of the story is about to take place. This story may
be life beyond the gap, but the quirky introduction gives lots of
thought provoking images, increasing the likelihood of viewers.

6. I specifically like the ending of this film titling introduction, as it has
the continuity of the first opening title to end it (open it to the rest of
the film), just after the astronaut takes his helmet off, which is
unusual for an astronaut to do, provoking a different but suspicious
thought onto the rest of the film. Enticing the audience.
