Research/Analyze/Discuss three credit sequences

One thing a director needs to establish is the tone in their film. With credit sequences it helps the viewers connect with the film, which gives the audience this emotional impression of what is coming. The credits starts off the mood and themes of the story before the plot even begins. Movies like Call Me by Your Name, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and once again Lala Land will help better understand.

In this film called Call Me by your Name. The opening credits for this film shows classical artwork and statues, with soft piano music playing in the back. The visuals in this are a sense of calming and almost reflective in a way, with this slow pace.This credit sequence shows us a quiet, intimate vibe. When they use classical art and soft music it shows us themes of beauty, and a feel of self discovery which makes this emotional. The slow pacing kinda gives us the way this romance film is developed, which is natural and artfully. With this opening the film focuses on emotion and development.

This film is called Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

With this film its opening credits are blended into the first scenes of the film. It shows the main character going through his daily routine. The visuals in the start of this film feel slightly off in a way, with dull colors sets this feel that something is wrong type of tone. This sequence makes me notice that this romance will be unusual. When mixing credits with the story, it's setting this theme of memory and reality. This gives us a reflection of the film’s focus, which is on love, loss, and memory.

Once again we talk about the film Lala Land. La La Land decides to opens with a musical number on a very crowded freeway in Los Angeles. The opening credits however appear during and after the performance. They use bright colors, energetic movement dances, and this upbeat music to create the tone.The credit sequence right away shows this hopeful and dream like tone. The music and choreography give the vibe of ambition, passion, and a reach of possibility. Even before the main characters are introduced,you kinda understand the film will focus on dreams, love, and the challenges that come with wanting your goals.
