This opening sequence from I, Robot focuses on setting the scene and story through quick editing between titles and action scenes. It establishes the production companies behind the film before showing a robot pulling someone from a car at night, under dark and low lit underwater lighting. Camera shots are rarely used and instead the sequence relies heavily on CGI titles, but when used the camera moves frantically as if from a point of view during an accident. Minor string sounds build suspense between titles that display over action scenes with sound effects.

1. Written analysis of opening sequence
I.robot
While viewing the opening sequence of this movie I noticed that the first thing
show was the institution that the movie was made by and in this case it is 20th
century fox then in association with media stream and then the title of the movie
and does not show the titles of any of the actors in the opening sequence though
it does have quite a widely known actor in this movie (will smith) and instead
starts the story for the movie with a robot grabbing someone out of a car and
shows the rules of robots
Editing is used in this opening sequence a lot as it is constantly switching
between CGI titles and real footage including CGI and keeps jumping between
titles and parts of action in the scene
Mise en scene
The initial setting for this title sequence is underwater as it relates to the story
and the color is dark as it is night and under deep water with low lighting to set
the scene for the movie and keep the viewer interested in the movie
Camera
An actual camera shot is hardly used in this title sequence and most of it is cgi
titles but when camera is used in this opening sequence it is frantic and panning
quickly like watching through someone’s point of view when the accident in this
movie is happening
Minor string Sounds are used in this to build suspense between the actual
camera scenes and over the titles of the movie while sound effects are being
played during the titles
