The Hangover Title Sequence Evaluation

The Hangover uses long shots of locations as the background for the title sequences that have text over. There is a song playing in the background.

The Hangover Intro

The opening sequence is some brief dialogue, before the long shots kick in. There are lots of names over the top of the scenes, and to begin with these are just the cast members names,  "Bradley Cooper" "Zach Galifianikis", and "Ed Helms" who are the main 3 protagonists. But after this there are also names of the director, the producer, editor etc, and name the people who are in charge of the film, but are not as known as the stars of the film.

Many of the shots are helicopter nature shots, which interest the viewer in the location.

Although we sadly do not own a helicopter, or have the funds required to rent one, we are going to begin our sequence with some nature shots, and have several titles as text over said shots, before at the end going to the word CHAINED over a black screen.

  1. Have you any screen shots of the titles from this film you could add here to add interest? You could also comment on where they position the titles in relation to the actual image - do they obscure the main images or not? How does the choice of font and/or colour work with the film? In other words, are they an afterthought or creative?
