Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark - title sequence

     The title sequence is playing at the beginning of the film whilst the actors, production team, director and the other people involved in the film are introduced. This is making sure the audience is aware of everyone involved and engages them to watch the rest of the movie.
From the start of the film, I can see that it is action/adventure movie because of the setting, music and costume of the characters. The music is tense and builds up the adventurous expectations of the movie.
     The opening of the film introduces the main protagonists of the film. The focus is mainly on Indiana Jones whom is who we see at the start to finish.
Close up shots are mainly used on Indiana Jones and the setting around him to indicate that he is the main character and to show the setting and to help indicate the genre of the film. The close ups used shows the audience his appearance. One important title which is used is 'South America 1936' which enables the audience to know the whereabouts of the characters.

     The beginning of the film shoes that the film is an adventure film from the shorts if the sights of the mountains. Also, later on in the opening we see men walking through a rainforest, this also states very clearly that its an adventure film.

     The first time some of the characters are introduced is when they walk into the shot, one by one, with their back to the camera. you then see them walking through the rainforest.
