Diegetic and non-diegetic sound intentions -
Our sole ambition is to portray a high school boy unusually discover super-hero powers. To give hints in the title sequence that he will eventually attain these powers, we could demonstrate athletic exercises carried out by the lead actor. For example, we could capture the sound of running footsteps to show how the lead actor discovers his electrifying speed. Also, we could have shots where the protagonist gets an overview of the busy streets and in this case, the sounds of vehicles horning and hundreds of people murmuring on the streets. Additionally, to show that he's an ordinary kid who happens to discover super-hero powers we could have a scene where only the protagonist's heavy breathing is heard whist his surroundings are muted. For the background music, producing a super-hero like music to exemplify the theme of this film would work perfectly whilst seeing the lead actor in action. Also, the audience will hear a voice-over courtesy of the main character.
Influences -
Title sequences which have influenced my decisions regarding my sound choices are films which tend to go straight into action and therefore producing a back story as the film goes on. One film in particular which does this effectively is Amazing Spider-Man 2 where the action begins with
Spider-Man in action whilst the busy streets of New York are packed with vehicles making loads of noise. It also consists of thousands of people muttering and it's a noise that is faintly playing in the background as Spider-Man swings through the city.
