1. What titles are displayed in the opening sequence?  The title sequence in Aquaman starts off by showing the director of the movie. The sequence continues on to show the people behind the screenplay and story of the movie. Afterwards, the opening shows the producers of the movie and what the character is based on. Finally, the opening sequence shows the names of the actors who will be starring in the movie, and the company who owns everything (weird that they put that in the end).  2. What connotations do the images carry?  In the opening sequence of Aquaman, the images carried lots of hidden connotations that connect to the main character.

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening scene of the film? Which ones?   First the opening mentions who the movie is directed by. Then it lists the producers of the movie. Then it lists who the screenplay and story are made by. Then it says based on the Marvel comics. Lastly the name of the movie is shown: Spider-Man Into The Spider-Verse.   2.

These opening images correlate to the primary purpose which is to create an action packed feeling.   3. How is the genre rein...

 Now then, it's time to begin our research, by looking over examples of sequences.  The first website that I looked at was The Art of the Title website. I love the organization of the website, providing simple spots that could direct you to a different page. I love the logo of the website; it looks so creative and distinctive; I also love the fact that Cinema 4D had supported most of these sequences. I used to use Cinema 4D a lot for rendering projects, so I know somewhat now how these sequences were created. I love how they formatted each sequence, setting them by release date and naming order. The most useful items would have to be the grid-list selection where you could pick between looking at a grid view of sequences or a list view of the names of sequences. This could be useful for people because some would want a visual representation to see how the sequence looks while others would use the list view to find specific sequences. I am happy to also see that the creators of...
