'Creed' Title Sequence Analysis

I chose this title sequence as our group are making a film with the same genre and similar themes. The title sequence for 'Creed' gives the audience an idea of what the film is about. For example, at the very start of the clip we seen a male boxer with some injuries which suggests he has been in a fight.

We then also see a huge title stating the name of the film which is also the name of the famous boxer in the film who trains another young boxer. We find out this in he film and Creed is also featured in the clip a lot. 

The Text in the title sequence tells us the actors in the film, the companies involved in making the film, the distributers and producers. The genre is clear in the sequence is clearly sport as the theme of boxing is what the whole film revolves around. Filters edited onto the title sequence, such as red, may symbolise the danger or injury which could happen in the film. Blue filters have been added as well which could link to the boxer's signature colours.

Music in the film was playing all the way through and was fairly fast pace and tense. There was hardly and speech in the clip, tis could be because Warner Bros. didn't want to give too much of the story away. The sequence mainly focused on the young boxer and the older man who appears to be the boxer's trainer who is Creed. It shows the boxer about to fight and him with who may be his partner or wife.

 

This women who we assume has a relationship with the boxer could be an important character as well as the man and his trainer who are stood opposite Creed and the main boxer in the film. This could show that the two boxers are rivals and they are clearly fighting for the same title.
