Blogging Task 7

The film I have chosen to analyse is Rush hour 3 simply because it is my favorite film. . The title sequence of this particular film is one of my favorite title sequences that I have seen and one that has inspired my ideas for my opening title sequence for the teen drama.

Firstly my opening title sequence begins with the two main characters that star in this production which in this case is ‘Chris Tucker’ and ‘Jackie Chan’,  behind this we see the titles with the moving images and the typeface is a bold white font.  However, the title of the film appears in a bright red font which automatically draws our attention back to the titles rather than the action that is taking place behind. The use of the two main actors appearing first within the title sequence allows the audience to get straight into the action with the characters.

Additionally, sound is used with in the background to emphasise the opening of the film and also uses similar music that is used within the previous rush hours. We are first introduced to one of the starring characters, James karter (Chris Tucker) whose actions are typically parallel to the genre of this production and therefore follows our expectations; the use of this character is successful because already 18 seconds into the film he is able to make us laugh. New music is played and the 5 characters follow on from the main title. Moving images are used throughout the intro of this film. This demonstrates and allows the audience to establish the genre and tone of the film. The titles then show the castings, followed by the visual effects, supervisors then the music, costume designer.  The matching music and moving images helped to clarify the sort of film.
