Action Children's Film Opening Analysis - The Incredibles

The Incredibles opens with a mock interview which introduces us to the main characters - superheroes. The camera and sound replicates old analogue equipment, showing us the "interviews" were filmed sometime in the past. The main theme, which is that the superheroes have gotten older and raised their own families, is alluded to in the interviews, but not actually mentioned. There are barely any title credits in the opening sequence but when they do show up, they are simple black and white title cards, yet again following the theme and time period. This means that when the full colour, modern style title appears, it catches the viewer off guard and has more power.

There is no music during the interviews, which emphasises the change of the titles, which have a strong stereotypical "superhero-movie" style.
