As a group we have decided to make a comedy genre opening sequence, this was due to us thinking it would be achievable and it was the most popular and most demanded amongst the questionairres. I am going to take a more detailed look into a comedy opening sequences that we aim to make ours similar to as they have previously proved to be highly successful successful.

Norbit: 

I chose Norbit as the opening sequence is based around kids, although younger to what we had initially planned, this will give us a further in site to making a successful opening sequence.

Opens with the studio's name and non-diegetic music starts straight away.

Narration and dialogue "voiceover" throughout the opening sequence, all of which are funny, which immediately establishes the comedy genre what we are trying to produce.

Fitting music, relaxing/ bouncy and happy, at walking pace, no heavy dramatic drum beats. This calms the audience allowing them to take in and understand the jokes better as they are not put on edge.

Comedy element already present via dialogue and visual codes.

Text of famous actors/directors.

Name of film displayed.

Names written in white onto a black background, but their job written in a flowing 'hand-written' style serif font.

directly links to the change from childhood and life until the present day of the main character Norbit - establishing the main plot of the film.
