The Taking of Pelham 123-
The opening immediately starts of with the sound of a horn giving the idea of where the movie is based. Shortly after a quiet pause the song '99 problems' by Jay Z comes on while there are scenes of busy New York which shows me the location the movie is set in and also the fact that the song played is produced by a New York city based rapper it also gives me a sense of the location too. The music is very fast and intense which gives me an idea of the genre which is action and thriller. The music and camera is slowed down when certain actors are on the screen which highlights specific characters we need to look out for as they have a big role in the story. I think that was very smart of the director as it prevents confusion for the viewer. This is one of my favorite title sequences because all aspects of it got me to be interested and excited, there was a good balance of music and visuals which were used smartly which got my attention and engagement.
