Analysis of Monsters inc title sequence:

The opening image in this sequence is the title of the animation company, this is produced in a large font in the centre of the screen, the black screen fades into this image to introduce the company and show its importance. Throughout this scene there is non diegetic jazz and brass instruments playing, this is to make it more atmospheric.

The next image is a black screen, in sequence images of shapes pop up on the black background in different positions. The colour scheme is mainly blue and green for this part, this then reflects on the main character as they are these colours. These exsisting shapes then disappear in an explosive action, this is done by using editing skills.  Lots of shapes then burst on to the screen being edited and adapted whilst being on screen, the colours of the images change to a variety of purples, pinks, blues, and yellows. Editing is then strongly used to move the shapes around and then start to build up a bigger shape (the door). This then symbolises the film and how it takes many segments to build up the final product. The jazz non diegetic music is still played throughout this scene.

The door that was created is then opened to an image of a normal wardrobe and then changes to More non diegetic sounds are used as we hear a 'raw' made by a dinosour and an image of the dinosours mouth, this brings excitment and enthusiasm to this particular part and also suggests the narrative for the film and slightly hint on what the film will be about.

Next brightly coloured small doors slide in through the sides of the sceen and flow up to the top to form a shape. The pink, red and purple colours of the doors may symbolise love and care or in contrast to this it could suggest danger and hurt.  Each door is set in a line, then opens and reads 'Walk Disney Pictures' this is the production company, the type is large suggesting their importance to the film. Monsters tails are now used commonly this supports the title in which the film will be about mosters. Towards the end we see monsters coming through the doors that have been created this could interprut that the doors also have an importance within the film.

Finally we see an open door, the camers then zooms through the door implying that we are now going on a journey this then intrigues the audience and makes them want to watch more. The non diegetic jazz music carries out right through until the end, this is effective as it helps increase the audiences attention from beggining to end.
