The Pink Panther uses its title to create comedy throughout the sequence
by creating conflict with the character by falling on them or purposefully
hitting them. The famous soundtrack also goes in the background and
creates a certain nostalgic happy mood that works well with the comedy of
the titles. Setting is not used but a plain background helps create
atmosphere by just keeping the focus on the characters and the titles. It is
effective on preserving the use of the title as the audience would not feel as
inclined to read them without such a subtle background. Pink is used
throughout the sequence which works well with the ‘Pink’ Panther and
creates a more relative atmosphere for the audience to read into. The
characters within the title reflect the genre of the movie as they are
constantly sneaking about getting into trouble. Some of the themes of the
movie are also revealed through this technique as well as plot points which
creates enigma.

and this reflects the title sequence of why so many
characters are out to get the panther himself.
Themes of conflict are also revealed within the title
sequence as the characters seem to be fighting or
being hurt by the titles. Many of the titles
themselves are pink and help go along with the
subtle theme of pink running throughout the movie.
The font size and shape is uneven and not neat
which reflects the genre of comedy as it is not a
formal title and comedy's are generally not formal.

Star wars is another movie which creates mood through the use of
its unusual title sequence which features a crawl with background
plot information which helps create enigma. The use of the Starry
background gives the audience a response of being shown a
place which is unknown to them which gives them a sense of
mystery and curiosity. The titles themselves also give a
background and foreground to the movies plotline helping the
audience to feel more involved within the movie. It is effective in
being simple and highlighting important key plot points within the
movie. The bright yellow text also going throughout the title
sequence matches the title of the film and this works to highlight
the importance of the Sci-Fi theme throughout the film.
