Game of thrones Vs 21 Jump Street

  Game of thrones 

   - The credits in this TV programme show all the main actors within the opening sequence with no specific order shown.

   - This it then goes on to show the executive members of the production team towards the end and lastly shows the writer and the director. So the order of importance ends with the director who is arguably the most important member of the whole production.

   - To make 'Game of Thrones' stand out they had Charlie Samways create them a font called 'Game of Thrones'.

   -The font is alternated from left to right and through the middle, vanishing then reappearing with different names and important figures.

   - We are also introduced to the territory's within the programme and the different kingdoms and empires. 

   - The music sounds medieval and pre historical to assist the background effects of the building up of the kingdoms.

   

I like how in the background of the opening credits they show us the construction of the empires and shows us how they end up, this creates a bridge between us in the present and their civilisation in the past, making the viewer join the atmosphere of the TV programme.

  21 Jump Street 

   - The movies opening sequence begins with 'The End' this is supposed to be funny as it is actually the start creating irony.

   - This movie going in opposite to the other as it starts with the most important first starting with the director and executive producers and directors, so on and so forth.

   - Then we are also shown the actors in accordance of importance and role.

   - The font used is a plain blocked capital font with the names in the middle of the screen and moving in opposite directions from left to right or vice versa. 

   - We are introduced to the main characters and are giving small information that they are police officers. 

   - We are also given the overall context of the film as we see drugs, money, guns and bullets giving us the overall drift of the film. 

   - the music supports the background as its all about young party music.

What I like about this opening sequence is that it subliminally shows the audience all the the things that are intended to happen throughout the movie but just scattered throughout the whole title squence.

The opening sequences are different in their own right however they both aim to grab the viewer and prepare the mood for the production they are about to see for 'Games of Thrones' it's to take the audience back into the past, but for '21 Jump Street' it's to start a comedic feeling as nothing is clear but yet it is still going to make you laugh it also creates a action police vibe as well.
