4. The Pink Panther (2006)

5. The Pink Panther (2006)
Because the title sequence is a colourful
animated sequence we can assume the
movie is aimed at children.
The title sequence is created in the same
style as the original 1963 film.
Characters interacting with the
credits suggest that the film isn’t
too serious and the slapstick
humour suggests that the genre
of this film is Comedy.

6. The Pink Panther (2006)
We can tell the other genre of the film
by the title sequence because it shows
common Crime/Detective iconography
such as police, torches and guns.
The simple typography could be used to
contrast with the strange situations
going on in the title sequence, similarly
the Crime and Comedy genres usually
contrast because Crime films are often
serious and Comedy films are fun.

7. Honey, I Blew Up the Kid
