Analysis of 2 title sequences

THE SOPRANOS




During the opening of this title sequence the main focus if the character driving the car through different parts of a city. There are similarities with films like the Godfather as there is a rich cigar smoking mob leader.I believe this gives the audience a rough idea that this character has some form of power as he drives through both the good parts of the city and the rough parts of the city. Things that also suggest that he is wealthy is his gold wrist watch and he is smoking a cigar,as cigars were mostly smoked by rich people as they were expensive.Also by the logo we know that there are some dangerous parts in this film as the title is in red and that colour can can mean danger. The music used is mid tempo and runs smoothly with the imagery being shown on scree. Film is directed and created by David Chase.

This title sequence is different to the sopranos, we can tell that the film is patriotic from the American flag and the whole title sequence together has a fast pace to it. Throughout the scene there is a lot of action, violence, sexual activity and drugs from the scene i can see that the film will be based around these main categories. The music in the film is in the popular music category giving the film a upbeat atmosphere which made the movie much more appealing to the youth but older people could still enjoythe music. In some of the scenes characters would be introduced but then glimpse of which person is who in the next scene would be given to us the audience. Film was directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum
