In a film, the title sequence can potentially make or break the entire production. It must set the tone for the film while still conveying information about who created it. For example, in the title sequence for Juno, it shows an animated, sort of stop motion sequence of clips of Juno walking through her city, and the names of the actors pop up near objects or places either directly or indirectly related to their characters. It sets the scene for the movie, and still keeps the viewer entertained.
The title sequence for Coraline is creepy and intriguing at the same time. Itbegins by simply showing the names of the actors and actresses in a storybook-esque font on the pages of what appears to be a scrapbook. Suddenly, a doll with buttons for eyes descends from the sky and is caught by a pair of spidery metal hands. They begin to cut and tear apart the doll, and it is quite disturbing for an animated film.The sequence continues with the restuffing of the doll, and creation of clothing. At the end, a doll has been created that resembles the main character, Coraline, and it flies backwards out of the window. The music in the background is suspenseful yet upbeat, and fits the theme of the entire movie. Overall, it is an effective title sequence because it captures the essence of the plot in a short 2 minute series of shots.
