Analysis of Title Sequence - Love Actually
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUoxXpqof8A
This title sequence is very unconventional in the way it doesn't establish the movies genre or any main characters, however; the audience is still drawn in because of the mystery behind what the genre is and who the narrator is. The voice of god used in this opening title sequence is very powerful and has the ability to change the watchers emotions. As an audience we begin to familiarise ourselves with the narrarator and it isn't until later on in the film we are introduced to the character, but by then the audience is welcoming to him due to his previous told of narrorating the title sequence. Most title sequences will establish the genre however this title sequence is very unconventional in the sense that it only gives its audience clues to what it actually is. The genre is enigmatic until the typography reveals the word "Love" coloured in red. The colour of this word is very important because we associate love and the colour red with each other. This is because hearts are a huge symbol of love and hearts are red.
Google images of the word love -
The primary colour of these images is red, and the images themselves are pictures of hearts.
This is an image from the title sequence of love actually, it shows the true meaning of love and relates to its target audience. The title sequence itself consists of people coming together and expressing the emotions of happiness and love, this is unconventional as it doesn't establish much to do with the characters or film, it only informs the audience of themes and genre that the film is based upon.
