Title Research: Comedy (21 Jumpstreet)

The second movie my partner and I did was 21 Jumpstreet and we watched it on Art of the Titles. The opening sequence has 21 titles. I am not sure if they did that on purpose because it's "21" Jumpstreet, or it was just a coincidence. The opening sequence is full of different pictures and images. But three are mainly shown. Those are money, drugs, and explosions. This is showing the watcher what to expect from the movie and what it will be about. Then also there are some scenes with guns and that is another indicator of what is to come from the movie. The images show that the movie besides drugs and that stuff will be action-packed with more than just drugs, money, and the stuff I listed. The opening sequence is a whole montage of pictures. Those pictures show whoever is watching that it will have a lot of action. But it also shows that the movie will be funny, this is because there are funny moments in the montage along with the action. The opening sequence also shows that there will be more than just drugs and stuff and those scenes won't be as action-packed as the rest of the movie. The montage or opening sequence brings some mystery in the sense of you see all the action and comedy and stuff, but you as the watcher also wonder how they got into those situations and what events led up to that. It also makes you wonder if they get out of those situations that you see at the beginning. As the watcher, you also get curious about what they are doing in the situations shown and what they mean and contribute to the overall story. They show a lot of different things which makes you want to watch the rest of the movie. All the action also shows you that there will be a lot of action and makes the watcher want to watch it and see what happens in the end and all the stuff that happens in between that got them into that situation. The technology used to film the opening sequence and to edit and all the sound is very important to the overall movie. Also,the movie makers added all of the titles to the movie which is also another very important part of the movie. There were a lot of mid shots and long shots. Also, the camera was often at eye level and they showed a lot of inanimate objects and used the camera to rotate and see the object on all sides.
