Some More Openings

Opening of a drama research:

Analysis of Shows (from empire website)

Garth Marenghi’s DarkPlace:

The basis of the show is an egomaniac who self-obsession means that he writes novels and then wants them to be turned into a TV show but because there is no money then it is all really cheap and tacky tries to stick true to the style of 80’s shows. The theme music is very phsyicadelic it is very fast and is kind of in the style of the most popular 80’s music which makes it fit with the gags and the 80’s style editing.

Caprica:

The show is a kind of space show that also links with a soap opera about a crime family. The opening sequence is full of different aspects of the show and tries to introduce the different characters and the music is very subtle and has no words but there is also like a light melody when a specific character appears on the screen.

Rome:

The show is about Rome and what it was like as archaeologists discover it. The opening sequence is done with the use of animation. The idea that on the stones there is a lot of graffiti and that the graffiti is alive and tells the story. This is said to be done because the images are a little graphic and so if you have them done as an animation then they are less offensive to the viewers but the idea of the show is still obvious. Also the idea of the music is that there was a use of ancient roman instruments is that they are more authentic.

Game of Thrones:

The opening sequence of the show is all animated and it is a show of the different locations where the show takes place. The locations look like they are on a map and the title game of thrones shows that there are obviously the thrones which are the different areas in this imaginary world. Apparently the opening sequence changes all the time depending on the location of the show.
