In your essay, briefly describe the narrative created by the title sequence (often called the “opening credits”). Do not refer to what happens in the movie – for this assignment, we are only concerned with what takes place in the title sequence – in fact, pretend that you’ve never seen the movie, and have NO knowledge about it. In one paragraph, succinctly describe what takes place only in the title sequence. The rest of your essay should consist of an analysis of the opening presentation. Again, do not discuss what happens in the film; only evaluate the title sequence, which is also posted to our Assignments folder. Remember, the reader of your essay has already seen the title sequence, so there is no need to describe in detail what happens. Instead, examine the symbolic implications of each aspect of the title sequence production. Take a close look at one aspect that stands out for you (it might be the music, special effects, typestyles, or other pertinent elements). Your analysis should result in a clear and concise essay in which you discuss the significance of the title sequence. You may want to consider the ways in which the title sequence is aimed at a particular audience – what is revealed about the viewers being targeted? Be careful to not generalize the intended audience. In other words, just because a movie is about vampires, it does not mean that only vampires will want to see the film. Instead, take a close look at noteworthy themes and subjects presented in the title sequence. Consider the expressed “meaning” of the clip. Be sure to also reflect on the importance of the genre of the film being introduced. Your job is to develop a relevant thesis and to present sufficient, specific evidence to support your claim(s). Don’t be overwhelmed by the amount of available material – this is a short essay, so be careful to focus your argument. Your essay should be between 1000 – 1250 words in length. Double-check your work for spelling, grammar, and punctuation; MOST IMPORTANT Although there is no need for outside references for this essay, if you choose to reference someone else’s work YOU MUST CITE THE SOURCE.
