Title Research (task 7)

1) The first bit of information is the
production company which is paramount
pictures – a major production company. This
suggests the film has quite a large budget.
The Nickelodeon movies suggest that this is
a film that is aimed at a younger audience
as it is a branch of the children’s channel
‘Nickelodeon’. The font is swirly which is
quite child like and is white which connotes
innocence which strengthens the fact that
this is for a younger audience.
2) The name of the director appears very soon into
the film beginning to show the importance of them
regarding their role in the film making process. The
text enters and exits very simplistically with no
effects- it just appears and disappears.

Perfect Snogging

3) The name of the Film appears near the very
beginning of film to reveal some of the
narrative. The previous transitions of the text
do not continue with this one. To show its
importance and relevance it fades in a fades
out- subsequently lasting for a longer time
(around double the amount of time the
credited names are on screen for). Moreover,
the font is clearly larger which again puts
emphasis on its importance.
4) The first actors name to appear is the
leading actor. This shows the importance that
they have in the film. Moreover, because of the
amount of work they have to do, they deserve
more of an acknowledgement. The transitioning
of the text is much like the earlier ones- it just
appears and then disappears with no obvious or
interesting effects.
Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging

5) Another actor is shown and the fact that his
name is near the beginning shows that he has an
important role in the film. However, from
watching the film- I would say that other
characters have more of a role in the film than he
does. He might be one of the first names to
appear as he is possibly the most famous out of
the cast which would attract more people to the
film and make them continue to watch it.
Moreover, he is a comedian which conveys across
the element of comedy in this film
6) This actor is also a comedian which again
strengthens the fact that this film has elements
of comedy in it. The fact that her name appears
near the beginning of the film shows that she is
an important character in the film

7/8/9) All of these actors are featured near the beginning of the
opening sequence which shows that they are important to the storyline
of the film. The transitioning of the text is exactly the same as the
previous ones showing that they do not have more importance.

10/11) These are the last of the actors
credited in the opening sequence. The
fact that they are grouped together shows
they have less of a role in the film.
12) Here, other parts involved in the making
of this film are credited (the people who
did the casting). This flows nicely on from
the actors as these were the people
responsible for casting them

13) Music is credited here and the main
person in charge of music gets credited
singularly. However, this person and the
others after them get less time on screen
than the actors did. Showing that their
role in the making of the film was not as
great as the actors.
14) These people get credited together,
mainly because their job in the film is the
same, but also that their role in not
particularly big.

15/16) These people get credited singularly showing that
they are quite important, however, their time on screen is
not very long compared to the actors. Emphasis in the 16th
shot in on the costume which ties in with the fact that they
are crediting the costume designer.

17) The editors names are shown together
here. This speeds up opening sequence as if
they were shown individually, it would go on
for too long.
18) The production designer is shown
later in the sequence as it is not a
position most people take notice at
when watching a film. They show the
actors first as that is usually what
sparks interest within the audience.

19/20) These roles in the film making are not the most major
and therefore shown later in the opening sequence.

22/23) This film is based on books so they
are therefore credited near the end of
the opening sequence. Also the author is
credited showing their importance in this
film.
21) The producers are shown but the director’s
name is first because she is more important in the
making of the film.

25) The fact that the director is mentioned
again at the end of the opening scene
highlights their sheer importance in the film
and showcases their effort.
24) These people have more of an
important role in the film so they are
shown almost at the last point of the
opening sequence. This is because
people usually remember the first and
last things they see.

10 Things I Hate About You
1) The production company appears first. It is
owner by The Walt Disney Company which suggests
that their films will be of quality. The black
background puts emphasis on the company as it is
of significant importance to the making of the
film.
2) This company features second showing
that it is still of great importance to the
film but not as much as touchstone pictures

3) This is the title of the film. The text reveals part of the narrative
as is looks like scribbles which you associate with anger and school
work. The underlining of the word “you” suggests that there will be a
person in this film causing a character a lot of pain and hate towards
them. There is non-diegetic music which puts emphasis on the words
as there is no story happening in the background. Moreover, the music
is a song that is quite old now show shows the audience the age of the
film and when in is set.

4-10) These actors play the main characters in the film and
there is no narrative story going on at this point which puts
emphasis on their roles in this film, showing them to be
people of significant importance.

11-13) These names come after a bit of
narrative is revealed showing that they play a
less important role in the film. Moreover the
word “and” at the end of these names signifies
that these are the last of the major actors to be
shown

14) These are the minor roles that are played
and this is shown by the fact they are credited
together instead of individually.
15) In this film, much like the
previous one, the casting is after
the actors as it flows nicely

16-21) In this scene, six people are credited. The fact that
there is a narrative story going on lessens the importance that
these people play in the making of this film as most people are
concentrating on the story and not the names. Moreover, the
names are shown for less time and take up less on the screen
space compared to the major actors.

22-25) These people in the role of the making of
the film are all in the same scene which shows
they all have a similar amount of importance. The
executive producers are each shown individually
which shows that they are rather important in the
making of the film. However, the narrative
continues which diverts attention away from the
film.

26-28) These names all feature at the end of the opening
scene which shows that they are quite important as people
usually remember the first and last things that the see. The
directors always seem to be the last people to be shown in the
opening sequence.

21 Jump Street
1) Two production companies are
featured first. The text is accompanied
with the non-diegetic song “slim shady”
and with non-diegetic sirens which
reveals part of the narrative which is to
do with cops.
2) This comes second which implies it
is of less importance to the film but
still a major part as there is nothing
else to look at and the colours are
extremely bold

3) The last bit of information in the opening is
another production company- no actors or
directors are shown which is rather
unconventional of an opening. The explanation
for this is that it is featured at the end as the
film ends on a cliff hanger and more credits are
shown to spark more excitement within the
audience.
4) The title of the film shows
colours which are associated with
the police and reveals part of the
action theme of this film.
