Analysis of a title sequence- Back To The Future




 Back To The Future



Back To The Future (Robert Zemeckis, 1985), is a time travel film that is similar to ours due to the comedy aspect of time travel and the scenarios that it creates.
 

The opening sequence showing the clock and the name of the actor immediately foreshadows the element of time in the future of the film aswell as the significance of the iconography that this creates. Using an opening tracking shot seemingly one take would present a unique opening that effectively introduces the rest of the plot by resembling the individual aspects that would make up the plot.
The TV show would also present a significant part of the title sequence as it could be argued to resemble our own film considering the scene with the videogame sequence and how this portrays that there is a foreshadowing when relating to the rest of the plot.

In addition to this, having the main character open the door using a low angle shot with light in the background would give an almost theatrical atmosphere which places emphasis on the importance of the character. Revealing the feet could also connote a sense that the character is being viewed at the lowest point and would need to rise through numerous challenges before he can be fully accomplished by the end of the film.
