THE MUMMY TOMB OF THE DRAGON EMPEROR


The title sequence I choose is The Mummy Tomb of the dragon emperor.The first thing we see in the title sequence is a plain black back ground with an old China's culture dragon which comes up to look directly at the words that are put next to it. The first title is the director which is Rob Cohen, the colour of the writing is in white to stand out with the black. The colours which are used for the dragon are red, orange and yellow. Then next title is the writers which are Alfred Gough and Miles Miller, with the title showing we see red and orange lines which lids us to the next title. For me the red, orange and yellow represents the sun and fire, which two represent heat. All the titles are linked together because all of them lids to the next title sequence. After that we get lidded to a soldier which is shown in black/ shadow and its looking at the title which shows the executive producer Chris which is Brigham. The reason I like this title sequence is because all the images are painted and if we think about it what have we got left from history is mostly paintings, so it represents past/history which the film is based on . You can see the paint brushes marks which creates a great effect on the images. In the title sequence, the camera shots are all most zooming in or out so there is not a lot of editing in it because all the sequence are linked together. I really like the way the people/ soldiers are represented by using shadows because it like the shadows are the past of china which they are still there with their shadows.
