Pietro Papadimitriou 2 films opening full analysis

THE HAUNTED MANSION
the clip starts with the logo of Walt Disney, these makes the audience already aware that the movie is not going to be particularly frightening . The clip starts with the iconic sound of Walt Disney. The clip starts with diagetic sound of a storm, the camera does a focus pull towards the castle. There is a slow transition and then the  graphic text starts appearing. the sound now is non diagetic. the title start to appear,  the titles appear with objects moving and a particular colour wash thanks to the CGI.
there are short transitions between CGI and real filming.  Often real filming objects turn in to GCI and other way round. the music follows the events of the intro. In fact it gets more serious when the man opens the letter.
The MES is particular, thanks to the mask dressing, the castle, the pens and the hand writing that are shown the audience understands these things are happening in the past.
Towards the end the diagetic and non diagetic sound join  together.
The main shots in the clip are close ups, long shots and mid shots.
there is also graphic match when there is the change between CGI and real filming.


MISFITS (TV SERIES)
All of the intro is with non diagetic sound.
The music is hard rock, already from the music the audience can understand and “ get in the mood” of the series, which is quite violent, sexual and rude at times.
The intro starts with CGI of “graffiti” moving on walls and titles appearing as graffiti.
The lighting is quite dark and grey, which reminds of a outside area of a city.
The drawings that appear on the screen give a short brief of the story of the protagonitst.
Between The titles appearing with CGI there is the presentation of the protagonists and their name appearing.
The transition are really quick between one scene and another.
