Post Apocalyptic Research: Title Sequence Analysis #1 - The Avengers


Title Sequence Analysis


The Avengers

I have decided to analyse the title sequence for the film "The Avengers". The title sequence of this film gives the viewer a sense of the genre of the film from the outset.

 The title sequence uses numerous extreme close up tracking shots of the suits and specific armour of the superheroes involved within the film. This aids the sequence in introducing the concept of war, heroes and villains and power.

The use of chrome fonts throughout the titles emphasises the ideas of technology and gives more of a futuristic feel to the title sequence itself. This futuristic, technological feel links directly to the genre and the storyline of the film.

The colours Red, white and blue are shown when there is an extreme close up of Captain America's shield. This assortment of colours suggests a theme of freedom and power such as that of the American stereotype. These themes also link in to the themes of the film; heroes, freedom and power.



 

Throughout the title sequence, music is used in a way to provoke a sense of power within the viewers. This sense of power and dominance also links to the heroic themes within the film.
