Title Sequence Analysis:

A) What do the titles tell you about the story or tone of the film/TV program?

The Punisher - From the given title of this show we as the audience are given the impression of this show being violent, and with the title being set on one individual we can tell that this will be set around a violent person. The guns used in the sequence gives a clear focus for the show being based around violence and weapons as well as the gunsmoke being shown that resembles a warshank painting to give a clear impression of the character being unstable.

Game of Thrones - From the title of this show we can understand that is presents us with an medieval setting through the use of the title. We are presented with a map throughout the whole sequence to show where the locations will be set during the show, and as we see these different buildings being created to mark the individual houses and the most important locations. From the use of the music and the sequences colour scheme we can understand that this series’s tone will be serious.

Skyfall - In Skyfall from the title sequence we are presented with images which makeup James's Bonds character as were shown weapons and women. Were also shown James Bond falling through the ocean as he reaches the bottom, almost to emphasize that it’s all slowly falling down for the character and he may be at his worst.  

Captain America: The Winter Soldier - From the title sequence of this movie the colour scheme sets for this movies tone for being serious, from it using black and white silhouettes to represent and separate the good and bad characters in the movie. As well as using red to emphasize evil. For each main character we are given a silhouette which helps represent their importance to the movie.

B) What visual effects were used in making the sequence?

The Punisher - Effects used in the sequence of the title mainly focus around of guns, these guns being made through cgi software and sometimes animated for when a gun is fired. Smoke effects are also used to resemble the smoke given from when a gun is fired; the smoke is moved in a visual way which is then mirrored to create the look of a warshank painting.

Game of Thrones - The sequence is done completely through cgi as shown from how the buildings and landscapes are made by slowly rising from the map. The map was made in a cgi software as the camera pans and zooms around the landscape to present the map as a larger scale.

Skyfall - This sequence uses multiple images with multiple representations. Such as James Bond falling down an abyss in the ocean. Were also shown a women moving around with a duplicated mirrored video to again create a warshank painting look to show the characters current state. As well as these moving chinese dragons to refer to the main location of the movie.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier - This sequence is completed within a cgi software and then uses still images which have been created into black, white or red silhouettes. Sometimes the image is slightly animated as towards near the end with Nick Furry. However most of the time it would just be the character still in a certain position as the camera moves around until it finds the opposite colour to changes into the next part of the sequence.
