Grease’s opening sequence is animated however it still follows many codes and conventions of its genre.
The first camera movement that is used is a slow tilt up to follow the character’s movement. The camera often uses a track pan to follow the character as if scrolling across. Also some medium fast zoom inn’s are used as transitions in the introduction of the next character. The overall pace of the editing is very quick. It has a quick pace to match the quick upbeat happy music.
There are a lot of props used in this sequence such as in some of the scenes the characters are getting ready to go to school in their bedrooms and have a stereotypical untidy bedroom. Props are used such as clothes on the floor, posters on the wall and a mirror on the desk.
The music is upbeat with a quick pace and the character’s action matches the music. Instruments that are used in the soundtrack are a trumpet and drums etc.
The type in the opening sequence for grease is inconsistent. The title “Grease” is squirted on to the screen in grease gel which is brown. Most of the other text is in different colours but are all in the same sort of type which is block capitals.
