The opening sequence of Monsters Inc. use many of the opening sequence conventions. For example, it incorporates all of the movie's titles in a creative way. It uses the ideas of doors and monsters to show the titles so the viewer automatically knows what the film is about while also keeping the viewer entertained and interested and the transition from the titles to the opening scene is interesting and creative. This is quite similar to our opening titles because we also used a creative way to reveal the title of our film. However, Monsters Inc. did use a lot more special effects to create their opening titles.
Monsters Inc titles
Free (our production) titles
The theme tune of the opening sequence is fun and catchy which would appeal to all listeners. The tune stays in your head which makes you remember the film in a positive way and hooks the viewer.
The genre is clearly comedy and for children, due to the bright colours and way it is presented.
The first part of the opening sequence establishes the location and introduces certain characters such as the boss of 'Monsters Incorporated', Mr Waternoose. Our production does introduce characters but not as thoroughly as Monsters Inc.
Intro of Fred and Perry
All the sound in this opening scene after the titles is diegetic. This makes the monster's world seem more real to the viewers. This contrasts to our opening sequence as we use only non-diegetic sound.
The introduction of Sully and Mike is amusing and establishes their relationship of being best friends. It also establishes the location of the monster's world, Mike and Sully's home and their work place. Our introductions don't establish the dinosaurs' relationships besides the fact that they are trapped together.
