Titles Sequences

1. The title sequence I have not seen - 21 Jump Street

The title sequence of 21 Jump Street is so American and creative. It expresses the main idea of the movie clearly. First of all, there are many popular cultural signs of American - the Stars and Stripes, Statue of Liberty National Monument, American Dollar - that we could guess this is a story which happened in America. Second, this story must be about the teenagers because I saw the shooting of sex, drug and violence. I guess the style of this movie is "loony tone" because all teenagers appear in the title sequence look like nuts.

2. The title sequence I have seen - Vertigo

Vertigo was directed by Hitchcock. The movie is very famous, I like it, and the title sequence of this movie matches the main idea that Hitchcock wants to express very much. First of all, the title sequence do the color correction so most of scenes are brown and red. I think they adjusted the color to brown because the heroine in the film - the true Madeleine was already dead before the hero met her, so her brown colored face looks like in the memory or  in a dream. Second, the rolling lines make the audiences feel vertigo just like the hero in the film - he has acrophobia. Even at that time, the after effect for the movie is not so advanced, the title sequence is useful for the audience that they could understand the movie and catch the feeling of the movie.
