The film title sequence I have chosen to analyse is 'Easy A' which is an American Teen Romantic Comedy film. The title sequence starts off with establishing shots to help the audience distinguish the setting for the film e.g. the city sign of 'Ojai' tells the audience where the film is located; there is also a shot of a high school 'Ojai North High School' clearly states the film is set at a high school and gives the audience an idea of what to expect. However, before we even see the establishing shots, the film is introduced with non-diegetic music - relating to the genre. The type of title being used is titles on a moving image and the action taking place behind the titles show several groups of high
schoolers socializing and chatting, and then showing the stereotype of one student in particular being pushed to the ground. The sequence is also a narrative as it becomes obvious to the audience what the genre is and the type of film it will be. The font used is just a simple, white capitalized style allowing the audience to easily see who the main people were in making the film. The way the cast names are introduced blends in with what is happening behind them and makes the sequence more visually interesting.
Another noticeable aspect about the title sequence is the fact that we're being introduced to something that's already happened. A voice over of the main character (Emma Stone) is telling 'her side of the story' to the audience, therefore is introducing a flashback.
What titles do we see and in which order?
