Scott Pilgrim vs the World



The title sequence for Scott Pilgrim vs the World is incorporated into the song which the band is playing and helps to show us how Knives (Scott's girlfriend) is feeling toward the band, in that she is in complete awe. Every part of the sequence is linked into the song for example the words are sort of blazing with the strumming of the guitar and the background images are moving quickly to keep with the tempo of the song. This draws a significance to the band and to the music, which is a key part of the film.

Also each of the sections of fast paced images have some sort of significance to the story itself or to a specific character which helps to engage the audience to the film as well as just being eye catching. For example, there are general images of hearts, feet (kicking) and the Canadian flag which are all significant to the story (in that it is a sort of love story set in Canada where the main character fights for the girls love); also, a key part to Chris Evans' character is his skateboard and when his name comes up the background images are of skateboards, similarly with Brandon Routh and Ellen Wong, when each of their names appear the key attributes to their characters are shown (guitar/knives) this not only draws attention to the characters but to the actors names and thus to the credits therefore making this very effective. Also the words are always in high contrast to the background and seem to be jumping around a lot which fits in with the sort of punky feel to the music and makes them stand out more which is good for drawing the attention of the audience.

Overall I would say that each element is used very well to create an effective and visually interesting title sequence which both drawings you into the story and makes the audience actually watch the titles which can sometimes be a boring part to a film.
