The opening sequence of megamind starts at the end of the film with a situation which means certain death for the main character. The main character acts as the narrator talking trough whats happening. He decides to explain the story from the begging, starting from when he was a baby narrating the outline of his childhood explaining how he ended up who he is. This is a style i particularly like as it gives you an opportunity to fully understand the main character and his way of thinking and many of the other characters.
After talking through his childhood we are given a quick sum up of the rest of his life through a series of newspaper article clippings hung up around a room. As the camera moves away the paper clippings lined up to crate the main title ‘megamind’. I thought this was particularly clever as it shows how the actions of the character have an effect on everyone by using the newspaper clippings.
The title uses a bold clear font that’s easy for the younger members of the audience to read. It is also blue which resembles the colour of the characters skin.
For our sequence we want to use a title that ties in with the main theme. Since we are using a plasticene model for our main character we decided to create the title from plasticene and use stop motion animation to animate it.
