Research Task 7 - Analyse 2 film title sequences.

The title sequence of the popular film "Zombieland"  heavily uses special effects in order to make it look high quality whilst keeping audiences engaged and interested therefore serving the main purpose of a title sequence but it also incorporates the titles into the physical sequence and they almost seem intractable with the visuals which heavily both seamlessly show them off yet hide them strategically so the audience is subconsciously intaking the titles. The entire sequence is in slow motion which gives the audience the chance to take in everything whilst making certain moments such as the bride attacking the groom to be even more comedic and also makes the film look much more flashy. The typical Colombia pictures indent is not used at the very beginning but it is swapped out for a much more suited and not even standing out title. which really emphasises how it is very unique to an expected and rather common sequence.  


The title sequence of the film adaptation of the book "the girl with the dragon tattoo" is rather abstract and only gives very small hints to the genre of the film through the use of black throughout the entire sequence which suggests thriller vaguely but apart from an extremely intense bird that is set made completely out of fire which many would call a Phoenix others may say that it looks like a crow alight both carry very ominous symbolism. Faces and hands are predominantly seen as well as flowers, all are black but rather than blend in its almost as if they also stand out the titles are in white but are rather small but yet contrast to the black background which is quite eye catching but with all the special effects and intense dramatic scenes are not the main focus. The shots are matched with rather intense almost action like music which is rather surprising with the visuals but really intriguing.
