Brainstorming

To start putting our ideas into a visual representation we first decided to produce a brainstorm to ensure everyones idea's were taken into account thus we could have the best possible outcome due to the equal distribution of ideas.
We focused on four major areas iconography, themes, genre and cinematography. We wanted to ensure these areas were covered so our narrative could be portrayed in the sequence as we wanted to go for a more image based title sequence which portrayed the underlining themes rather than a animated based title sequence for example.

From brainstorming we decided on representing the themes of love, family, death and stupidity. We were able to show this simply through the iconography itself the confetti and camera flash would portray the theme of love and family. The sinking photograph would portray the death of the nan thus death and the bird poo would represent the characters stupidity. We also showed minor elements of the narrative such as inheritance this was shown simply through the use of money which also foreshadows the bank robbery, a significant event which the story line hangs upon.

We needed to include object which would convey to the audience that the protagonist is a spy, to do this we wanted to insert stereotypical spy objects into our sequence such as a magnifying glass and a watch.

We wanted to show the storyline through the title sequence therefore we make sure to show everything that would occur subliminally in our sequence for example the coin turning into the ring which then falls into the suitcase convey that Teddy's marriage will be at stake due to his new identity and the coin simply represents him having bad luck due to his idiotic personality.
