Twilight:Breaking Dawn

Micro analysis

This title sequence uses a range of wide shots and a large use of panning setting the location of the film, which is shown to be a secluded area many lakes and forests. Slow transitions are used with a large amount of cuts.Ambient sound. slow tempo mysterious music.

Macro analysis

The use of red within the title sequence and also used as some of the title colours shows us that it is related to something supernatural such as vampires where blood plays an important role. There is also many images of a wolf like creature presenting to the audience that they also play an important role in this film.The only character we are shown in the title sequence is "Kristen stewart" it is an extreme close up of her eyes which are red showing us that supernatural plays an important role in the film. Also the use of a Triangle is used which present a high pitch tone emphasises that she is a main character as throughout the sequence the music has a low tone

Animated title sequence.Main use of long shots and medium close up's. Which sets the scene but importantly gives us a closer look at the main character. A mix of slow and fast transitions. Bright colours sense of the location of the film possibly a small town. Ambient Sound use of up-pace music.
