This opening title sequence is able to give us a feel of the whole movie, and give away some facts without ruining the whole piece. Although we will not be able to use animation or computer graphics in our opening sequences I feel that the idea of showing objects or places that relate to what's about to come is a good effective way of starting a film and a technique I could use.

The opening for The Back Up Plan tells us the main goals of the protagonist and what the film will consist of (in this case the conceiving of a baby). The main point of this opening is to create a light-hearted atmosphere for the movie as we see policemen sucking dummies and a supposed flasher actually selling baby products. This is relevant to my work as I would like to try to make a Rom Com opening.
