Napoleon Dynamite opening titles
This film is targeted at a young audience; it is an 'indie' style comedy, with titles physically made rather then just put on screen. Though this is unusual it is very effective due to its originality and how every title is different; keeping the viewer interested.
These titles are very much animated; there is no real film or image behind them; characters in the titles are undefined and have minimal detail, but the bold colours and flow of movement make them interesting to watch, and an effective opening.
These opening credits are clearly much older, and more about filling the screen up with names then entertaining the viewer with bouncing pictures and icons. These are the kind of titles that are avoided in modern day, as not only do we have the technology to by-pass such tedious openings, but the shorter and more interesting the titles, the more patience the viewer will have with the film.
