• Style: They've used small models to design a 'toy' city and uses models of text to put in the 'toy' city to be titles.
• The style supports the genre of the film as it's a quirky independent film with a bit of comedy in it too. The quirky title sequence reflects the whole film.

• The music in the background and the picture itself does reflect the loving and friendly theme of the movie because it's very quirky and cute and makes you smile.

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

• Genre: Horror/Action/Fantasy
• Style: They've given it a cartoon style however quite scary and dark. The idea of the cartoon gives a hint of a fairy tale, young theme however the dark music and images adds to twist the film gives.
• The style supports the genre of the film because it is almost like a classic cartoon fairytale however has a twist to it.
• It tells you the film is going to be dark, with fantasy and horror
• When I watched the opening I was actually quite scared but it was really engaging as well.
• The sharp font also adds to the horrific genre.

• When I watched the opening I was engaged and wanted to know what was going to happen.

• The text faded in slowly but the actual transitions of the clips were very quick cuts which made you jump when you least expected to.

Drive

• Genre: Crime/Drama
• Style: Because of the pink text, disco type music and city atmosphere it seems to have a very glamourous style to it, however it also has a twist due to the fact the man seems to be up to no good. 
• The style of the title sequence has a twist, like I said above, which matches the type of genre it is. Usually with crime dramas there is a twist and there is someone up to know good, which is what the opening title sequence displays.
• It tells you it's going to be quite a glamourous yet dark film.
• The opening scene was unique and that's what is always good about them, it makes you engaged and want to know more. It left me with a cliffhanger. 
• The pink font against the black background was quite sinister.
• They kept cutting to the scenes of the lit up city and the man in the car which kept us interested.
• The music matched the glamourous atmosphere the sequence gave off
