6. SEASON 1-9 INTRO
THIS INTRO FOR SEASON 1-9 IS SHORT AND SWEET. THE EDIT OF THE NON-DIEGETIC MUSIC
OVER THE INTRO CREATES A CATCHY TONE THAT’S GETS STUCK IN PEOPLES HEAD WHICH IN
ITSELF COULD BE SELF-ADVERTISEMENT. EACH PERSON IS INTRODUCED WITH A TINY
INTERVIEW TYPE SITUATION WITH THEIR NAME THAT HAS A FLIP TRANSITION NEXT TO THE
PERSON WITH A PURPLE AND WHITE BORDER, AND WELL AS EACH PERSON SAYING OF A
DIEGETIC A LINE WHICH GIVES THE AUDIENCE A HINDSIGHT TO WHAT THEIR
CHARACTERISTICS ARE, GIVING THE TASTER OF WHAT IS TO COME WITHIN THE SHOW. WHEN
A NEW TV REALITY STAR IS INTRODUCED, THERE IS THE EDIT OF A FLASH WHICH GIVES THE
INTRODUCTION TO THEM THAT MORE POWER. THE PROPS THAT ARE USED IN THIS
INTRODUCTION IS A POWERFUL FAN WHICH DRAMATICS THE INTRODUCTION ESPECIALLY FOR
KHLOE KARDASHIAN. ALSO, A ROPE IS USED IN THE LAST FEW SECONDS WHICH WHEN
TUGGED THE BACKGROUND OF THE CALIFORNIA SKYLINE INTRODUCES THE MAIN LOCATION
OF WHERE KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS IS SHOT, THEIR HOME. ALSO, DURING THE
INTRO, A MAKE-UP ARTISTS TOUCHES UP KENDALL WHICH LEAVES THE IMPRESSION OF
MONEY AND HIGH MAINTENANCE, WHICH COULD LEAVE A SMILE ON THE AUDIENCES
FACES WHEN WATCHING THIS. AT THE VERY END OF THE KUWTK INTRO ONCE THE CATCHY
MUSIC HAS FADED ONE OF THE PRODUCER SHOUTS OUT MONEY RIGHT BEFORE THE
EPISODE STARTS WHICH JUST CREATES A SENSE WEALTH AND ACHIEVEMENT THAT
SURROUNDS THE FAMILY AND THIS REALITY TV SHOW, WHICH IS INDEED THE CASE AS THIS
SHOW WAS ONE MEANT TO AIR FOR ONE SEASON, BUT TIME WENT ONE THE FAME FOR THE
FAMILY GREW AS WELL AS THE SUCCESS FOR THE TV SHOW DID TOO MAKING THE REALITY TV
SHOW AIR FOR 14 YEARS WITH 20 SEASONS. EACH PERSON IS WEARING A DIFFERENT
OUTFIT, FOR EXAMPLE KHLOE IS WEARING A GOLD SHORT SEQUIN DRESS WITH CURLED
HAIR, WHICH MATCHES KYLIE THE YOUNGEST OUT OF THE KARDSASH-JENNER CLAN IS ALSO
WEARING A GOLD SEQUIN TOP WITH A LEOPARD SKIRT, WHICH THEN LEADS TO KENDALL
JENNER WEARING A GOLD SEQUIN TOP WITH A LEOPARD SKIRT, WHICH THEN LEADS TO
KENDALL JENNER THE SECOND YOUNGER WHO IS WEARING A LEOPARD DRESS. THE TWO
YOUNGEST ARE KENDALL AND KYLIE JENNER THE CHILDREN OF BRUCE AND KRIS JENNER,
AND ARE HALF SIBLINGS WITH KOURTNEY, KIM, KHLOE AND ROB KARDASHIAN CHILDREN
OF THE LATE ROB KARDASHIAN AND KRIS JENNER. ONCE THE PROP OF THE BACKGROUND
SHEET IS DROPPED THE TITLE 'KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIAN IS EDITED IN THE INTRO
WITH THE POP-UP OF 'KEEPING UP WITH' THEN THE 'THE KARDASHIANS' IS PUT IN PLACE
WITH A FLIP TRANSITION IN THE BRIGHT PURPLE THAT IS SEEN THROUGHOUT THE
INTERVIEWS FOR EACH PERSON. THIS LEADS TO THE FADE TO BLACK WHICH THEN FADES
INTO THE STARTS OF EACH EPISODE. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME INTRO THROUGHOUT THE TV
REALITY SHOW ALL THE WAY UP UN TILL SEASON 9.

7. SEASON 10 INTRO- 10TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY
SPECIAL
Season 10 of keeping up with the Kardashian is the 10th year special, leaving them to create a one
year's special of a new introduction. This intro starts with the edit of the bird's eye view of the homes
in Calabasas which is located in California, with the editing of white bold writing over it with the non-
diegetic music over it by Aloe Blacc- king is born. This song is loud and popular as it was originally a
song for WWE which connotates the Kardashian family as they are a loud and well-known family
throughout the whole world. Also, there is a noise of a non-diegetic helicopter which later on we
find out Kris Jenner is in the helicopter and realise the bird eye view is actually a point of view shot
from Kris Jenner. Each Kardashian/ Jenner member each has their own introduction that gives us the
taste of their personality, for example Khloe Kardashians intro is a mid- angle shot of her working
out, which then turns to an over the shoulder shot in the mirror of her looking at the progress she
has made. Each Kardashian/Jenner has two costumes, one for their brief introduction and then of
them all together at the end. Between each intro there is a montage snip-it's of the whole family
from the previous season, this shows the audience on how far they have come and grown along with
the fame that is attached to their name. Each tv star has a different location to introduce them for
example Kourtney Kardashian lays down by the pool which is located in Beverly hills. Also, for
Kendall Jenner her intro is a load of paparazzi waiting for her to walk the runway which is her
profession, however they added a special guess in the promo, Kirby Jenner, who is just a boy who
gained fame for looking like Kendall Jenners twin. Towards the end of the Kardashian intro, they all
meet up from being introduced to an all very familiar backdrop of the California skyline. The end of
this season intro they recreated they original intro but years later creating an iconic scene, this left
everyone socked that they went back to their old family home in Calabasas. For them to recreate
that scene they tugged at a hanging rope and let the skyline drop to revel the house while all the
family members are in their glitzy dresses which could represent the money that they have gained
throughout the years. However, we notice that Bruce Jenner and Rob Kardashian no longer made an
appearance like last time but in the season leading up to this intro the family dynamics had
changed. Also they have the diegetic sound of them talking about how Kim is always late which is
once again a taster of how they are, leaving such a compelling and action packed intro to seduce the
audience to wanting to watch the whole
season.

8. SEASON 11- 13 INTRO
This quick and quirky introduction has a flash introduction for each tv
star. The quirky introduction has the edit of rectangular slices of their
faces fading from one edge to the other, it goes super quick to
introduce the girls but as the years have gone on, we know who is
who so no long introduction is needed. The black background makes
them vivid to the audience as their skin tone pops against it. Once
again, the producers of the tv reality shows chooses another non-
diegetic catchy theme tune for the new introduction. Once that brief
introduction is over there is a bright flash thast laeds to the white
background and the 'keeping up with the Kardashian' logo is in black
which is put on top of a white background leaving a bold title, kind of
matching their personalities. Next to the title is the Kardashian/Jenner
women who separately seen staring from their side profile to their
front profile to then change to the next sibling. This edit of the
transitions gives the audience the full look of each family member
from head to toe, showing of each bakground. Each TV star has a
different outfit one for example Kendall is wear a grey dress that is
revealing with a fringe bottom, but Khloe is wearing a bold red
jumpsuit giving the unique look to each member.once the second
part is over kylie( the last person to spin) fades away letting the
KUWTK logo slide to the middle of the screen then turns dark which
then would fade into the start of the episode.

9. 14-16 SEASON INTRO
This intro for KUWTK is short and meaningful, the non-diegetic
music over it is also very soft and calm which really matches the
introduction. The edit of the warm tones over the montage of
Kardashian/Jenner memories throughout their years and
successes. The edit of the dusty grain over the whole video gives
the intro and feeling of warmth for the audience. Also, them
including the memories of their childhood from their home
videos shows their happiness of their family. Most of the videos
and footage that has been shot for this introduction is located in
California, Calabasas the hometown to the famous family, or
they have used film footage from the previous season like family
trip to Cleveland. The transitions of each memory going into
another creates an interest of the trailer, the ripple effect to the
fade in and out. The end of the trailer we see the title of keeping
up with the Kardashian with a warm white on top of a balck
background with the exact same dark warm grainy tone that has
been seen all throughout. However, during the video we get bits
of the video which make I look like an oof video with the lines
and white blots that has been seen.

10. SEASON 17-18 SEASON 19 SEASON 20
All these season have the exact same introduction as the
season 14-16 however the memories for those 3 differed
for those 3 different intros are different memories. So, all
the camera, all the editing is the exact same apart from
what flash back they decided to edit in. Also, the famous
catchy tune we first heard in season 14 intro The Keeping
Up with the Kardashians theme song was created by
American pop group, Francis and the Lights.
They originated in Oakland, California and self-released
their first album ‘Striking’ in 2007.
