My favourite title sequence


My favourite title sequence would be Snatch.

It gives the viewer a really good idea of what the film will be about from the outset, we first see a group of men in the back of a van taking of Jewish disguises with a huge diamond this hints to us there is some sort of scamming or illegal activity involved. I really like the motif of the objects being passed from scene to scene and character to character its as if the money and diamond are being snatched between all the people in the sequence, it creates a sense of flow and continuity. I think the freezed animated pictures of each character and their names was really good because in title sequences we are not usually told the characters names, so they broke the conventions of title sequences and they did it in such an inventive way by freezing it and making it stand out with bright bold colours.
