Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol title scene
Today in lesson we where asked to choose a film with very interesting film titles in which we could analyse and which will help us to determine in which order the titles run and which person in the making of the film is considered having the most important role. These below are the titles which contain the main actors and directors etc. from the large ensemble cast.
Time on screen:
3 seconds long
1) The first title that pops up in the Mission Impossible: Ghost protocol title sequence is the production companies, it is the first company listed maybe because it is the most important. The style of the background is a explosive wire being set on fire and travels along the scene of an underground, which has an eerie feel.
Time on screen:
3 seconds long
2)This is the second title with a film production company on but this film company does not stand out as well against the background because there is no light shining on the name.
Time on screen:
3 seconds long
3) This is the third and final production company which has the same graphics and same font size as the previous titles, meaning that it has the same importance as the second production company.
Time on screen:
3 seconds long
4) The main character who is played by Tom Cruise is shown first on the credits, because he is the most well known actor in the film.
Time on screen:
3 seconds long
5) This is the main title of the film. The writing is very bold and bright, therefore stands out on the dark, dull background. The scene is in a sewage tunnel underground, which shows a sense of adventure.
Time on screen:
1.5 seconds long
6) This is the second title of the film because the film is part of a sequel, the titles have to state which sequel it is because there are multiple other films in the franchise. Due to the nature of its name, it is called 'ghost' protocol and when this title scene finishes the letters fade into the darkness almost like a ghost.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
7) This is the second cast member in the title sequence to be shown, it is Jeremy Renner and has a similar animation and design as the font for Tom Cruises title. The scene is set in an office room and has a character investigating into the darkness of the room.
Time on screen:
1.5 seconds long
8) This is the third and final cast member to be shown on their own in a title scene because Simon Pegg is also a very well known actor. The writing of his name is very similar to the other two actors but the only thing different is that the background has more light in it.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
9) These are all actors/actresses in the film but are not as well known as the higher earning actors therefore as shown in a title of three actors together including Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor and Lea Seydoux. This scene has graphics so the writing looks like it is floating underwater and is a lighter scene than previously.
Time on screen:
2.5 seconds long
10) After the celebrity cast have been introduced the next title is still underwater and the writing is still plain and action like. This title is showing who was in charge of the casting for the film, which is a very important role.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
11) The 11th title is in a special agents office showing a missile and the writing saying "Visual Effects Supervisor" is still similar size to previous titles but the writing is positioned more to the right to fight around the missile prop.
Time on screen:
2.5 seconds long
12) This title scene is from a birds eye view of a tall building in a city and the whole feel is very futuristic. The font of the Co-producers is a lot smaller that all previous title scenes but it is still in the same style.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
13) This is very similar to the previous slide but is showing two more co-producers who helped to produce the film. And the scene is still very much the same.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
14) This title shows who the music is by and the scene is very light. There is good use of props in this scene with the climbing equipment and the goggles which show the action in the film.
Time on screen:
1.5 seconds long
15) This title is very creative which fits well with the idea of introducing the costume designer, who is called Michael Kaplan. The title has a fast sports car speeding along the street, which shows the viewer instantly that the film is going to be face paced.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
16) This title is to show who the film was edited by, Paul Hirsch is by himself on this title showing that he is the main editor of the film and is superior to other editors. The background is of a high tech computer system which also shows that the films genre will be action.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
17) This is a title to introduce the executive producer who has the overall say on how the film is produced. The background is lighter than the other scenes but the text is the same.
Time on screen:
2.5 seconds
18) The third title to include producers on has three names all on one title. And none of the names are larger than the other so shows that they all equally played a part in the editing of the film.
Time on screen:
2 seconds
19) This title in the background shows a faint image of a character falling off a building this also shows a sense of fighting and action in the film. This Title shows who the film is written by and is the second from last title which I believe means that the writers of the film are very important to the film.
Time on screen:
2 seconds long
20) The last title in the scene is who the film is directed by who is Brad Bird and he is one of the most important minds of the making of the film and i believe this is why he was left to the end of the titles to introduce because he is the most important. The scene is dark again and goes back to underground where the titles started out at.
Conclusion...
I can conclude from analyzing the title sequence of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol that there is a particular in which the members of the team used to create the film are ordered. First of all I discovered that the production companies of a film are what bring the film together so this is what came first on a title sequence. And the main star of the film which the viewer watches the film to see is the first cast member to be mentioned. And then the less famous ensemble of cast members are then titled on the next couple of pages. Due to all the text throughout the film except from the film title all being the same size and font, it shows that all the members of the cast are as an important compartment to the team as each other.Then the members that help make the film behind the scene are after the cast because these are usually the people which viewers are less familiar with and the role they play in the making of a film. Even though the members of the people making a film are all a team and are all as important as eachother.
