A.I analysis

In this film opening of the movie Artificial intelligence, it discuss the creation of a child robot who can be loved by it's parent figure's and it can love them back. this opening does not show a=who the film cast or producers are. It's does show the title of this film by a merging two words together to form one word: A.I.
This film gives an introduction to a couple of characters:
The female robot which is introduced by the stabbing of the hand to show that the robots do have feeling as well as her face being removed in show how the robots looks without the skin grafting.
The scientist that gives out ideas to the other scientists about the new type of robot.
The family who comes to visit their cryogenicly frozen child who "passed away" five years ago.
Is does not give much of an induction of place the film will set in as they character move into different place through out the opening sequence. It is set in the future where the polar ice caps have melted and flood ll the coast lines around the world and he men limitations have had to be put on anything that uses up resources. The film start with a somber tone of the death of people from less developed country's and the destruction of coastal city's and later in the sequence when the characters visit the dead son the somber tone continues there are also moral issue raised with the discussion of weather robots should be able to love. The opening reveals the genre as science fiction from the start as they are talking about robots and ideas in how to improve them.

Our Robot Moodboard

The pictures shown are related to our film opening. I have mainly chosen pictures of robots, computers and electrical devices. Although you will not be able to see the robot in our film opening because its in a first person view of the robot. Also the pictures of the computers and computer scientists are there because those are the kind of things you will see when the robot activates.

Analysis of compaerable openings

Wall-E does have many of the different conventions of an opening sequence, at the end of the sequence the title of the film, Wall-E, is overlaid to take up most of the screen it also introduces you to the main character who is a robot called Wall-E this also give a Strong impression that most if not all of the other characters will also be robots.
It also set the tone of the movie by having the sober tones of an abandoned earth yet also with the light hearted comedic tones of Wall-E having befriended a small insect, probably a cockroach. By using these tones it help to set the genre of a comedy for younger audiences and it sets up questions for the rest of the film like where has everybody gone?
besides this it also missed out some key components of an opening sequence as it does not have any of the cast and crews names also it does not give much of a clue to the time period but it does suggest that it is in the future and the it also does not have a signature theme tune like most movies but it does have a sound bit of Wall-E saying his name.

Company Logo Examples

The minimalist imagery contrasts with the often gaudy logos of American production companies like Tristar, Paramount, etc. Whilst still remaining distinctive, subtly showing their iconic chicken logo in the shadows created on the wall. The opening logo also uses the yellow colour palette often associated with the company.



The animated pixar logo not only displays the talent of the 3d animators at the company, but also shows the sense of humour usually present in their films. The logo is obviously aimed at children, the main audience of their productions.

Analysis of opening credits

The opening of the film "pink panther" the 1964 version it gives a detailed description of the cast and crew. the opening also does the title of the film in a comedy style way starting with "The Ink Ant" then to "The Pink Pant" then showing the full title "The Pink Panther" The opening doesn't show any characters expect for one, The pink panther. Despite the pink panther is a diamond. The opening doesn't show any main location but the style of the other cartoon character gives it a sense that this film is set in France. This opening give the viewer the look that this film is set in the 1960's . The opening sequence does give an idea of what the mood of the movie with the use of the animation where the 'Pink Panther' is being pursued by a white glove and detective also the music helps to set the tone by being slightly jumpy. the theme tune is accompanied with the animation of the detective and the 'Pink Panther' to fit with the music and the comic elements with in the title sequence help the theme tune stay in your head so it is instantly recognisable later in the film. The opening gives a huge gift of what the genre for this film is. This genre is a crime caper type genre with hints of comedy in the film. Within the title sequence there are no question rasied but due to the inherent nature of the genre questions will be raised during the film. There are Patterns throughout the entire film regarding the pink panther animation that echos the theme of the diamond that appears throughout the film. There is no mise en scene nor cinematography in the title sequence that will be repeated throughout the film.
