Blog Task 4: Analysis 2 title sequences

Skyfall
The title sequence of skyfall is one of the best title sequences any film has offered. It is enticing and with a memorable blend of images and a timeless song this is really how all title sequences should follow. It performs all of the essential functions a title sequence is meant to , showing the names of the main cast and production team , so thankfully it isn't lost in it visual effects. However the ever changing images i.e the giant hand pulling James Bond down after he falls into the water at the beginning of the film , or seeing the shadow of the man he shall be battling throughout the film , or even the giant blood red skull in the middle of the water , all add massively to this sequence. It makes it interesting to the audience despite the content and actual story line of the film not being there. It shows glimpses of the film , such as a picture of James Bond with a bullet in this shoulder , or the creepy old orphanage known as , Skyfall , where the final battle takes place  , showing a slight foreshadowing of the film. The music , specially made by award winning singer Adele is specifically suited to this film , making it original and one of a kind , which is important since it derives it from becoming like every other title sequence , with a similar dramatic upbeat generic song.

The Incredible Hulk
Another title sequence with a heavy use of imagery and sounds. However this one isn't as effective as Skyfall. The Incredible Hulk is a character created by Marvel , so its only natural the company that made them appear at the beginning. The title sequence uses a lot less names of important actors and producers and relies more on looking at the past of hulk , one that has been seen many times. However it looks it it from a different angle , one in which he is fleeing the government and moves away , something that is not often highlighted. This gives a foreshadowing of the film , but not to much to give away the basis of 50% of the film. However the images used aren't as unique and compelling as that of skyfall , nor do they grab your attention , especially because anyone who knows of hulk knows how he became the monster he is now , so showing it again in a different way would probably bore people. However the dramatic song , however generic sounding it may be , uses a very harsh and demanding sound , one that forces you to listen.
