We looked at the children's film Beauty and The Beast and evaluated the opening sequence. First of all they introduce the producers of the film (Walt Disney).
The beginning of the film starts off very bright and colourful with tranquil music which sets a calm and relaxed scene. The voice over speaks with a slow soft tone and introduces the story by talking about the setting. As the sequence goes on the lighting becomes darker which creates tension and the voice overs voice changes to a deeper tone therefore creating a dramatic effect. The music also contributes with this by getting louder and having a quicker pace.
The sequence gives us a good understanding of the characters role in the film and who has the higher status. We are shown a prince with an elder woman and due to the background in this clip it is easy to tell their personalities. The picture to the left shows a prince in a colorful outfit with a more naturalistic background and an elder woman hiding parts of her face with a darker outfit with a sinister background.
At the end of the sequence the main title is shown and instantly ties together the story of what we have just been told as we see in the clip the handsome prince is transformed into a beast and within 21 years he has to fall in love with a beautiful woman who loves him just as much in return. The font of the title is colorful on a dark background which contrasts to the change in lighting throughout the sequence. The title is big and bold and and the word 'beauty' is in a red angelic font contrasting the character it fits with, and the word 'beast' is grey, bold and dull which also fits in with it's character.
