Dr No (James Bond)

This title sequence is the genre of action and has a sub genre of spy. This is shown through NICS as the gun barrel is an example of iconography as it establishes the theme of action and highlights the genre of spy.

The silhouettes of people used in this title sequence also establishes the genre of action as it shows people fighting and women's figures which are usually seen within an action film but the fact that they are silhouettes adds to the sub genre of spy as they are mysterious imagery and have no identity, almost like a spy.

Splice

This title sequence is not as easy to recognise a definite genre but certain aspects of it do establish a genre of some kind. This is due to the colour green which could indicate that the film has something to do with aliens which therefore leads the audience to believe that film's genre is a sci-fi.
In the title sequence a house style can be seen which includes all visual elements being consistent such as the colour green, the fonts etc. Also the imagery used is quite suggestive of the genre because of the veins and alien strobes hat you can see.


The Back Up Plan


This title sequences genre is quite obvious to see due to the comedy element which comes from the man who is flashing and the romance element from the couple on a date. Therefore it is suggested that the title sequence is a hybrid genre of a Rom-Com. This title sequence also suggests that the genre is this and the film is made for the target audience of women by suggesting that there are babies in the film through the baby toys, also the main character is a female protagonist.
Finally to add to the to the genre of Rom-Com the typography used is very feminine and elegant which matches the colours and design of the title sequence.
