Main post 5a

As we have decided to make a comedy genre opening sequence, I am going to further explore comedy opening sequences that we aim to make ours similar to as they have previously proved to be successful.

Norbit:

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

Narration and dialogue voiceover throughout, all of which are funny, which immediately establishes the comedy genre.

Fitting music, relaxing/ bouncy and happy, at walking pace, no heavy dramatic drum beats.

Comedy element already present via dialogue and visual codes.

Text of famous actors/directors with star power displayed.

Name of film displayed.

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

Shows the progression of title character's childhood and life until the present day - setting up the story for the main part of the film.
