This document analyzes the title sequences of three action/thriller films - Taken, The Bourne Identity, and Mission: Impossible - to show how they establish the genre and plot for the audience. For Taken, cues like dull colors, fast music, and clips of fighting convey the action/thriller genre. The Bourne Identity uses a dark design, mysterious backing track, and a floating body at the end to set the thriller tone. Mission: Impossible further establishes the genre through a moving soundtrack representing action, ID cards with partial faces creating mystery, and visuals of vehicles like helicopters.

1. Title sequence analysis
In this PowerPoint, I will be analyzing three title sequences from three films
which are the same genre as my group. Our chosen genre was action/thriller so
the chosen films I have picked is Taken; Bourne Identity and Mission
Impossible. I will also talk about how the: genre; plot and audience are
established.

2. TAKEN

3. On the previous slide, was some screen shots that I
took form the ‘Taken’ title sequence. The genre is
portrayed to the audience very clearly that it’s a
action/thriller film due to being dull coloured, fast
music and with little clips of action which involved
fighting and cars crashing. The audience this film is
aimed at would probably be young adults due to
younger people may find this particular film ‘un
interesting’ and older people tend to not be
interested in fighting and action.

4. BOURNE IDENTITY

5. On the previous slide is the title sequence to
Bourne Identity. The genre is thriller/drama
which is established through the title sequence
because of the backing track while the titles are
appearing, also, the design is dark and leaves
the impression the film is a thriller, then the
sequence ends with a body floating which leaves
a enigma code to the audience.

6. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE

7. As just established, I have screen shot 10 shots of the
'Mission: Impossible' title sequence. Mission Impossible is
a action/thriller which was presented to the audience
really clear throughout the title sequence. The backing
track was a moving sound which really helped established
the genre. Also, the sound represented the action. There
was glimpses of ID cards which didn’t show their full faces
which gave a 'mystery' mood towards the sequence there
was then visuals of a helicopter and car which shows the
action and the titles were coming in and out the different
visual effects and ended with the title of the film.
