Applied Animation: Guardians of The Galaxy

This is a film that I have watched recently and I decided to look more closely at the title sequence because I really liked the way the scene, mood and atmosphere was set within it. I also really liked how the story as introduced through the title sequence. Plus the aesthetic of the overall sequence is really appealing to me.

I really love how the character within the title sequence contradicts the environment he is in. I feel that it somewhat draws more attention to the environment, as his behaviour is out of the norm for the situation he is in. Another reason I like this title sequence is because of how successful the environment is at portraying the mood and atmosphere of the situation. Again, the colours used within the environment are extremely effective in helping to create the mood within this scene, as many people associate certain colours with certain moods and actions or events.

I also really like the titles within this sequence and how they are presented. I like the fact that they don't distract from the main action, but they are still visible and noticeable to the audience. I also really like how they stand out against the background yet fit with the theme and tone of the film. This is something I will need to seriously consider when creating my own title sequence, as I feel that getting the text right, if I choose to have any, will also have an effect on the tone of the title sequence.
