Analysis of Title Sequence- Love Actually
In lesson we discussed and analysed the title sequence for ''Love Actually''
This title sequence is very unconventional as it doesn't establish any of the key characters in the film. The sequence is made up of multiple scenes of people showing love for each other in an airport. The only thing we get that could be reference to a key character is the narrator who is talking about love. It seems that there are no references to the story line or what the film is about. It pretty much just establishes that the film is about love and how we show it towards each other. Most film title sequences would reveal some of the story or clips from the film to show the audience where the film is set and what characters are going to be in the film, however this film does not show either of them details.
Another thing we could discuss about the sequence is the font used. It is a basic non aggressive looking font which matches what the film is about. Also the colour of the font is white which is all around peace which also matches the theme of the film. White also merges well with the actual clips being shown in Heathrow airport which are well lit.
The fact that this title sequence is all natural and not acted out makes it all feel that bit more real as the audience know that it isn't scripted and that we are really seeing the actually reactions of people seeing and greeting each other with love.

In these two shots we see people showing great excitment to see each other as you can see in the way they are hugging each other and have huge smiles.
