Title Research: Comedy (Deadpool)

The third movie is Deadpool and we watched it on Art of the Titles. There were about 13 titles in the movie. But the titles were funny and comedic but that goes with the movie. For example one of them was "this movie was produced by *ashats." This goes with the overall theme of the movie. In the opening sequence, there are a lot of dead people. It is showing that Deadpool probably killed those people because there is also a car crash and the only person who is not dead is Deadpool. This is probably telling us as well that Deadpool and whoever those people where do not like each other and are enemies. The images show that the movie will have a lot of fighting and action. It will also show the Deadpool will often be outnumbered. The titles are comedic which works with the genre because the genre is comedy. Also, a few images shown in the opening sequence were funny as well. Then the dead people and people being killed and the car crash went with the action. Also, the car was on fire as well which went with action. The opening sequence establishes some mystery with the whole thing. First of all, who is the person under the mask and why is he wearing a superhero suit. Who were those people chasing him and what do they want? Why is he being chased? These are all questions and mysteries raised by the opening sequence. It makes the watcher curious and wants to watch the rest of the movie. All of the gear to film the movie and edit are being used to the movie's success. These things take a lot of effort but help the movie. The camera sort of moves backward starting from the first dead goon or whatever you call it to the car and then Deadpool.
