Captain America: Civil WarThe opening sequence to Captain America is very effective through its use of editing as it gives the audience an in sight of each of the characters who will star in the film without giving telling a whole lot about them. This is effective because this will draw the audience in straight away because they will want to find out more about the characters and see what role they have in the film. This is done by for example, when Iron Man appears through the floor you are able to see many different costumes which surround him which will give the audience a bit of a background story about him as they will portray if no one is familiar with him, that he has had something to do with the suits in the past or will be in this film. An effective part of this sequence is the use of introducing Spider-Man into the film and this is significant because most of the characters in the film are apart of the Avengers and this is suggesting that Spider-Man may be joining with them and this will be effective to the audience because he has large audience from his films. the way they use him in this sequence, he is shown to be on his own which suggests that he may be in conflict with the others or he could be joining forces the audience are not told what he will be doing in the film which makes this title sequence even more effective Mission Impossible: Rogue NationThis opening sequence starts off with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) on a plane as he lets a parachute go off which takes him and a crate with him. This straight away has the audience on the edge of their seats as this creates that sense of action and then it cuts straight into a fuse wire being lit which also links to the genre of action. What the opening sequence does well is that there are a lot of fast cuts throughout of the credits which will also get the audience wanting to watch the film as it creates that mood for the film, the audience will fill that it will be action-packed throughout. The genre of action is hinted in the opening sequence throughout, for example linking back to the fuse wire, it continues to pop up the sequence and each time it is getting smaller which as an audience member you will feel intrigued and engaged to the film but at the same time will be wondering what exactly is going to happen when the spark reaches the end of the fuse wire and this is a very good way to start of a film so that the audience are drawn into the film. Another hint of the genre of action is the use of a gun, you see a character holding a gun and looking down the sight of her gun, which is telling the audience that there is going to be violence in this film which is what you would expect from an action movie. Step BrothersThis is the opening sequence from Step Brothers. This film is straight away hinting that is a comedy by the use of the quote, after it says "Actual quote from George W Bush". The film is trying to show the comedic element from the first few seconds of the film. After a few credits at the start of the film you are introduced to Brennan (Will Ferrell) and Dale (John C. Reilly). When you are introduced to Dale, you will see that he is picking up clothes from his dirty wash basket and smelling them to see if they are able to wear. This will be seen as funny to some audience members because he is being shown to be dirty and acting like a child as this is a childlike thing to do.
Next in the scene, Brennan is sitting down whilst eating nachos and cereal and then his mother walks into the room, this shows that he is a grown man still living with his mother and this will tell a bit about his character and the fact that he clearly doesn't have a job and doesn't care about what he does. Later on in the sequence Dale is shown to be playing a game called Guitar Hero, this is a comedic element because you are not likely to se an adult at home playing a game during the day, you would expect them to be at work and this is effective because this tells a lot about both of the characters and how they come across in the film.
