Opening Credits Analysis 2 - Divergent

Analysis of Divergent Opening Credits

The Summit Entertainment logo is shown first while the music starts and then the Redwagon Entertainment Logo is shown, both of the logos have been shown in the same colour which directs the audiences' attention towards the music.

'Divergent' is then spelt out on the screen through lines which then form the letters.

The first shot is of the grass with a sunrise in the background which connotes a new day and peace and harmony in the world. We associate the grass with the countryside which is normally a relaxing place.

A pan is then used to show a long shot of a boat on the land but the boat is damaged and this connotes that something is going to disrupt the harmony in this land.

We are then shown a large fence which connotes that something is being kept in to possibly be protected from what's outside.

A tilt has then been used and we can see a city behind the fence. This connotes that there is life in the protected area.

Lots of long shots are then shown of the city and the music crescendos which suggests life and the business of what's going on in the city.

We are then shown a lot of people wandering around and this suggests that it is a normal world inside a cage that they just have to live with.
