Research Homework Task 1

The title sequence I have looked at is 'iRobot' and I will be explaining the various conventions that are used within the sequence.

Here is a link to where you can watch the clip: http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/i-robot/

Going through the clip you will be able to witness the use of many conventions.

For example:

• The story line is revealed - the audience get to grips with the understanding that the film is based on humans and robots.
• The main character is introduced - the audience see Will Smith
• Many credits are provided
• Suspense - tensions and suspense is created via what is going on in the clip, the use of robots helps engage the audience and create suspense

All these various conventions and more help a film capture their audiences attention and be successful.
