Love Actually Title Sequence
Love actually is a romantic comedy, which generally explores the ups and downs in relationships. It's mainly aimed at women, as it includes attractive men and appeals to women more as Romantic Comedy's are not usually seen as 'Masculine' so attract a wider female audience. The title sequence contains the first scenes of the film and includes all the main actors and actresses. It also sets the scene by showing where they work, what jobs they do and what is currently going on in their love lives. This is just a brief over view so the audience can get an idea of what the rest of the film is like. I like this title sequence as its fast moving, and shows all the different relationships separately, it leaves you wanting to know what happens to them, especially when they aren't already together and you can see that they should be. The title sequence as a whole, shows the film as an obvious Rom-Com, and shows the titles, small, focusing more on whats going on at the beginning of the film. I would like to use this idea in my group title sequence as we have decided on the Romantic Comedy theme, and i like the way it shows the beginning of the story.

Genre Title Analysis
http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/00139-Enchanted
The title sequence for the film 'Enchanted' is animated, but resembles a fairytale book, showing the film is based on a fairytale or takes the form of one. Its a fictional film which is aimed at all ages and genders but could attract more females as it is pretty and typically fairytale ''. it could also been seen by a younger audience as fairytales are very popular among children but adults may also be interested as its not completely in an animated form.

Juno is also animated although the actual film is not animated. The genre is indie comedy and this is evident in the title sequence as its quite simple to produce but very clever at the same time. It shows that the young teenager is drinking a large amount of 'sunny d' but it leaves the viewer wondering why, which is good because it leaves an exciting miniature cliff hanger before the films even started. But before the title sequence appears it shows the main character Juno stood in front of a chair, saying how it started 'with a chair' and you come to see later in the film how this is symbolic.

Sweeney Todd uses a creepy title sequence to show the thriller genre of the film. It's also animated like the above title sequences, but uses more relevent imagery to set the scene.
