The document analyzes the opening title sequence of the film "School of Rock". It discusses several film techniques used in the sequence. The tracking camera technique makes the audience feel like they are present in the club. Visual effects and color are used to bring the film to life, such as showing the production company name on a character's jumper. Genre conventions hint that it will be a comedy, as the main character is shown getting hurt in a funny way. Subtle hints through camera techniques and text begin to give insight into the story. Editing uses a cross fade between shots to transition time smoothly. The bold title credit design stands out against the scene it represents in a dark club.
