Mean Girls opening credits

The sequences starts with the universal ident with its usual soundtrack. Then fades to a blank black screen with the same music that continues into the main part of the opening sequence, the production company, directer and main actress names are written onto the blank screen, which is very typical of all main stream films. In our opening sequence we hope to use the same music in our ident as sequence, but we will probably not present any directors e.c.t on an individual screen.

In the main sequence there is a voice over introducing the main character and her situation. This creates meaning and demonstrates how the rest of the film is going to be about the her struggle to be socially accepted and popular. as well as this the sequence helps us to relate to the character feeling alone in a strange new world. This is a very typical introduction for a teenage romantic comedy and also in a similar style to the way in which we hope to represent our main character and there situation.

The rest of the opening is a montage of the character's first day with the credits coming in from the right stopping in the middle and leaving to the left or coming in from the left and leaving to the right. this is typical of the introductions for this genre of film.
