Spiderman - Opening Sequence

 Spider-man - Opening Sequence

The opening scene is very interesting. This is because it opens with a 3D like of a bright red spider web which relates to the theme of spider man because spiders produce webs. This is what i am expected to see in this genre of film. The opening scene does not change throughout the titles until its finished then the film begins. The sound used in the opening scene is an upbeat victorious sound this contrasts with the theme of the film, which also makes the sound parralel to the scene.This is unique because during the opening scene there are no characters, location or props which does not give the start of the film away. The disadvantage of the this opening scene is that it is not exciting or eye catching because it just a bright red spider web rotating.

The opening sequence has been used for this particular film because  the clip/ image of the opening sequence relates to the theme of spider man  by showing a spiderweb as opening scene the audience instantly knows what they are going to see or can also remind them of what they are going to see.

 Although the idea of using the spiderweb as a opening sequence i find it interesting and yet effective because of the way it relates to theme and genre of the film.

The appearance of the titles are very interesting because as the camera zooms and rotates into the spiderweb a shone of light appears in a shape of a "S" to represent Spider man. Then the titles appear in a light blue form which is very effective. Near the end of the opening title, the main title of the film appears in silver and on top of it  is a miniature spider crawling on top of it. I fount that very effective.

The production company behind this is Columbia Pictures, The production company is in charge of the the profit the film make and the gross the make worldwide.

The audience for this opening scene will attract children aged  12 and over. This is because of the fast paced intro and fantastic edits such as fades, dissolve, fade in and fade out.

The opening scene keeps the the audience interest by having a fast paced sound which makes the audience feel some anxiety and suspense before the film has started making them feel attached to the film.The special effect used in the opening scene was a 3D style opening of a spiderweb. The other special effect used was the small animated spider on top of the main title. This has been used to make it seem more interesting and more appealing towards the main target audience.
