The two opening sequences that we watched were Monsters Inc and Princess Diaries. Monsters Inc opens with a catchy theme tune as background music. The animation introduces the main theme of the film as well as the credits and title. Its engaging with its use of colour and creative monster animation. However these monsters are not the main characters its just to set the genre of the film. It makes the audience question what kind of character will be in the story line.
Although Princess Diaries starts with a soundtrack with the opening credits rolling across the screen, characters are introduced at once, unlike Monsters Inc. The scene is set well with the establishing shots of New York and this helps the audience find out the genre and what era it was set.
In conclusion both opening sequences have similar conventions however the way they differ helps establish the genre and target audience.
