Sub-genres which inspire me and why?

The style of the titles are hand written and uneven. It fits in with the cartoon-like theme and works well with the appearance of the young character, as if the credits were sketched by her.

The titles say: who it presents, production company, A Jason Reitman Film, Juno (the main character), followed by names of other characters, casting, costume designer, music, music supervisors, co producers, film editor, production designer, director of photography, executive producers, producers, writer and lastly the director. It is as if the character is aware of the credits appearing because she sometimes looks at them, attracting more attention. This gives them more importants.

The titles are combined in things that are in the settiing and change positions each time they appear. For example, whether it be in the sky, on a wall or floating in mid air, there is no consistancy. This could be seen as reflection of the characters personality. As for the shots used, there is a complete mixture. It ranges from tracking shots of bruno walking, to an Arial shot of her starring up at the sky and more.

What i like about this title sequence is that it is as-if the words are alive. I say this because they move as if they are fidgiting, which i thought was brilliant. Each title had a different characteristic, for example some flashed onto the screen or others jumped on one word after the other.

The style of the titles are simple but effective. They combine well with the backround and do not hog all the attention, neither do they hide away from the viewers eye. I like the way the titles appear on a black background, followed by the backdrop. I thought this was a clever way of giving the credits meaning and relevents to the movey.

The title sequence is edgy and unique. The words are interesting to look at due to their crooked, abstract style. The titles are the first thing that catches my attention which gives them extra importants. The Font is random and the words appear in random places and angles. I interpret this as mirroring the girls odd way of life, far away from mainstreem lifestyle.

The titles are made up of the ussual, director, distributer, writer, sound editors etc. But the most 'important' names are at the start, appearing in a twinkle of light infront of a black backround, these are, 'Destination films present' and 'a Jim Henson production'.
