What is a titles and opening sequence?

6 feet under title and opening

Six feet under is all shot in a grey or sepia tone, this makes it seem dull and dredgey. The imagery used all ssuggest death, things like a crow cawing and going though a tunnel toward the light are used multiple times. The imagery is a contrast to the music played which is upbeat and cheery. It makes you curious as to the tone and mood of the show, because what you see and hear are so very different. The use of shot montaging, gives lots of information of the subjuct matter, but can make it less clear. The names of all the major people who worked on the show are put into the sequence as physical objects (a name tag on a corpses toe.) rather than just floating in dead space, they interact with the sequence more and you take more notice of who worked on the show. The title is only seen at the end of the sequence after all the credits have been shown. I would expect it to be a relatively happy show on a darker subject matter.

Scott pilgram vs the world

The camera zooms out to a serial point, giving you an idea of how strange the camerawork in the film actually is. All text shown is shakey a done in a comic book style, relating to the origins of the story. It has dialog, and the majority of the sequence is not filmed camera work; instead there is a series a bright flashing images of stars, bombs and sound waves. The images shown reflect what you hear, the song played is just as manic and loud. This bombardment of the senses gives a feeling of major confusion and gets you on the same "off beat" as the movie.
