ED WOOD film by Tim Burton
The credit sequence blends into the beginning of the movie. The credit sequence attempts to scare but also humour the audience and make them feel vulnerable in the sequence. From the beginning when an elderly man, arises from the coffin and makes the audience feel involved in the movie.Firstly the audience may suspect that the man who sits up in the coffin is a vampire, due to several other movies we have watched before.
unces it is a "mystery" and the "evidence" will be shown. The use of black and white suggests the movie is set in the past possibly in the 60's. Also the black and white film also suggests that things are not what they seem, when something is black and white it means its quite shady and possibly not reality. It shows that the exterior appears fine when really deep down on the inside something is not normal.
As we move closer into the action in the film we realise that there isn't a storm suggesting why lightning is going off in the sky. The audience find out it is UFO's striking each other in the sky that is causing lightning strikes.

The credit sequence also shows us the famous HOLLYWOOD sign indicating to the audience the film is set in Hollywood. On the contrary font of the people's names who come up are in Hollywood block letterstWhereas the indication text such as director is a 60's styled font. When the camera shows us underwater and the audience see an octopus, the typography moves as if it is underwater in wave like motions. When we are introduced to the graveyard we move past actors names, the fact their names are on a gravestone, provides a hint that these actors are not living in the film.
When the title appears the background flashes from light to dark, this could mean that Ed Wood will be the person with all the answers in the film. The music then changes to a mystery sound as if the audience have become detectives.

The camera maps the setting of the film. It shows that we may possibly revisit this area of land the camera takes us through.
The camera then takes us over Hollywood where the movie then begins.
The key motifs for this credit sequence was the image of a tree, flower, computer cables all of these motifs make sense during the movie. The darkness of the credit sequence suggests that someone is stuck in this space and trapped. Each time they try and escape something just seems to be pushing and holding them down. The text gets smaller as if it is zooming out and all text is in capitals, therefore allowing the audience to read it clearly. As the words are presented on the sides of the screen in small font, it draws the audience to watch what is happening in the credit sequence rather than focusing on the names. The text also works by indicating where the director wishes for you too look on the screen and by doing so controls what you watch and how you watch it. When the title appears it expands across the entire screen and then disappears. As it is in capitals it is impossible to miss.The sequence also suggests the person wants to escape their body but they cant, they keep being constrained. This is further shown by the cloth being held over the humans mouth and some kind of creature breaking through the eye. The Immigrant Song works well alongside the visuals, as it goes with the intense fast paced beat.
In this credit sequence all the first numbers of the apartment blocks behind Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman start with the number 7. Motifs in this sequence would be the pen, watch and jacket. The words which dissolve on the screen represent what the killer is writing about his victims. The audience know this because he puts hair in a plastic bag and pictures of the victims in their blood. The typography for the first writing such as the director is distorted and blurry. The actual names of actors and people who helped make the film is written in jagged handwriting close to one of a children's handwriting. I suppose this writing is meant to be the killers handwriting, as it represents how he writes down his victims names. Also the distorted text could represent the mastermind of the serial killer and represents that his mind has problems. The music in the sequence cuts and then returns again, giving a distorted view on the situation and that the person is not normal. The jumping of one thing to the next could also represent is killing methods, as after he has killed someone he moves on to the next victim.

007- Gold finger
In this credit sequence we view the projection of a man's face on a woman painted in gold's hand. The different clips shown on her body represent what the film will involve. However the real beginning of the film is when the man's face is on her hand then it becomes reality. The text appears on the side of the frame and then changes side by side. The use of capitals in the credit sequence allows the audience to clearly read it off the blackened background.
