Genre- War Drama
- The text the titles are shown in is similar to that of an old-fashioned type writer. This is a convention of genre as it helps set a period mood, which is useful as this film was set during one of the world wars
- Battle scenes are shown in both sketches and photos throughout the sequence. This is a convention of genre as it suggests death and violence, which are common themes featured in a war-time drama.
- All the shots that are filmed are coloured using sepia. This is a convention of genre as people of the time would've only been able to access photos of that kind, making it more realistic and enjoyable for the audience.
- However, I don't particularly like this title sequence as although it fits very well into it's genre, I think it could have done so in a more exciting and dynamic way. Especially since it is a wartime drama, it could have opened with some dramatic battle footage.
