Post Apocalyptic Research: Title Sequence Analysis #2 - Iron Man Three

Title Sequence Analysis

Iron Man 3

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



The use of numerous scenes that involve violence and action suggests to the viewer immediately that the films genre is action and adventure. The use of the main character from the film itself gives the audience a slight amount of background information into the film and suggests to them that this character is going to be some form of hero fighting off any enemies etc.

The first title shows the directors name, this has been a consistent factor throughout the title sequences I have looked at. This shows to me that the Director, being one of the most important people within the creation of the film, is placed first within most title sequences in order to show their importance; I will have to take this into consideration when creating my own opening if title sequences are used. Also, the transition between scenes from the film being placed into this red, comic-like tone is used in order to suggest to the audience that the origin of this films storyline comes from comic books and that the main character is a comic book hero.





The text used within the title sequences is made up of simple, bold, yellow text which links directly to the comic-book origins of the storyline and gives the viewers a sense of the genre of the film from the outset.
