Title SequencesLucy WalkerSkyfall James Bond FilmThe music is noticed first suggesting that it has a lot of dark and powerfulness relating to the mise-en-scene. The soundtrack is named after the film showing how it is relevant. The powerfulness of the music comes across as the voice of Adele fits in with the meaningfulness of a James Bond film. There are blood, enemies, guns and daggers used which then creates danger, threat and mystery to the audience as it makes them want to continue to watch to see what happens especially how in the first few minutes, a character is drowning in the water which then makes tension as the audience isn't sure whether he will survive or not. Skyfall has a mixture of both action and fast paced movements which reveals the genre.

Monsters Inc.The first thing that is shown is Pixar which adds attention to the I as the background is grey (dull) so the focus goes onto the moving lamp which shows a lively film.There are a lot of shapes that fit in with the music as the shapes move and then the music speeds up as the shapes go together to form a door as this is a key part of Monsters Inc.Also, the yelling of the monster speeds the music up and then the door opens to the Walt Disney Pictures with the text and font in a childlike way showing the main target audience is children. With other things for the children to look at so they dont get bored and to keep them engaged.

Casino RoyaleThe first bit of animation that gets shown is the main character with the lines that move down the screen as if it is drawing a maze which becomes vey effective as it happens throughout the title sequence. The music is quite dramatic all the way through and gets a lot more secretive when it hits the image of the knife in the hand to show that in the film there is an incident and it gets more exciting to see what the film is about.The dark colours represent it being a thriller genre and not a comedy for example as it creates a tense, dark, mysterious atmosphere. The final shot is of the title in amongst the lines of the maze which may show confusion and gets the audience into the atmosphere of feeling lost.
