Opening Sequences for Three Teen Dramas

I have to say that most (ALL) of these movies are comdey based. But they do feature awesome title sequences!

 

 

 

The type of sound that could be identified in this clip is non diegetic (sound which is added during post production) as it's a peice of music that's used throughout the opening. Obviously, the piece of sound goes along with the clip as the two main characters (I'm assuming... Though I know it's them!) are dancing around to the music. Due to the type of film (that being comedy), the creators decided to use something upbeat and fun which allows the audience to understand that the film would probably feature similar elements. 

 



 

 

Again, the same upbeat tone is used here (that being non diegetic). As the title sequence is quite quick, it would make sense for the music to be at similar pace. In addition, the music is used to allow the audience come to terms with the type of movie they'll be watching, a comedy.

 



 

The use of sound is used differently as it appears to be a diegetic sound (sound on set) as the members of the band play their music. But this could have been 'imporved' during post production so the sound could have a clean finish to it. The type of music that's used here is indie music which obviously tells the audience that the movie will have an indie outtake, that being slightly darker etc than a usual teen movie.

 

CONCLUSION: Analysing all three title sequeces it's pretty clear that the sound during the title sequence is important as it sets the tone for the film, allowing the audience to come to terms with the type of movie they'll be viewing. On that note, the sound of music could change the tone of the film too. For example, if you were to put a more of a 'gangsta' beat to 'Superbad' then people would assume the film would have more of an urban feel to it.

The type of music that was heard during the three title squences were usually fun and uplifting so I'm guessing that's usually the type of music you're expected to listen out for as the teenage years are our happy years (for the majority of us, anyway).
