"Superman Returns" opening title sequence by Kyle Cooper

"Superman Returns" opening title sequence:

The opening title sequence of "Superman Returns" catches your attention from the very start due to the first shot revealing a blood coloured red plasma ball which quickly shrank into nothing. This shot is simple but is able to capture your attention due to the visual interest it creates in the audience of wanting to continue watching the sequence. Next we then hear a heartbeat like sound and a black dot is revealed and is only visible by a bright light shinning behind it, very similar to a solar eclipse which then explodes towards the screen into a space like setting with a blue colour which hugely contrasted with the previous black and red colours. The next shot the camera follows some greenish coloured rocks flying across the black space background screen which is cleverly used again to create visual interest towards the audience making you to want to see more. Finally some blue writing is revealed contrasting with the black screen background, which starts by advancing towards the screen and then disappears by disintegrating into scifi type 3D beams that shoot forward on the screen. The well known superman crest is then revealed on the screen which instantly gains and excites the audiences attention. Finally to end the opening sequence on a very appealing and highly visual shot where the camera takes you on a journey through space passing planets, stars, the moon, meteors ending by zooming towards planet earth giving you the feel as the audience as if you were superman himself flying through the galaxy. The title sequence shot finally finishes of what looks like South America leaving the audience to wonder what is about to happen in the film.
