Title Research: Mary Poppins Returns (2018)

    The movie chosen for this blog was Mary Poppins Returns. It was chosen from the Art of the Title website. 
    For this movie, the titles displayed were, of course, the names of the movie producers and developers.  Although this opening sequence has a more uplifting feeling, unlike the Pokemon opening, in which that one feels more like a gamer experience if that makes sense. The font feels very fitting to the opening, with artistic scenery, although the pictures do seem to have low-key lighting, it still feels very heartwarming. Images prioritized include several pictures of different places, although they don't look like they were taken by a photographer, the images shown all look painted or drawn. Connotations in these images do say a lot. Some images express several adventures, and it also shows imagery from everyday life (except that it's painted). 
    This film establishes a feeling of pure fantasy, and there are several reasons why. I haven't watched the movie, but I, along with millions of viewers, have seen the trailer, precisely because it popped up on television. And I've seen scenes that have "fantasy" written all over it. But in this opening sequence, the images used help create a more fantasy-wise experience among the audience. Also, the music inserted during this opening sequence brings a heart-lifted feeling to the audience, it brings a warm and joyful sensation when you combine the painted imagery and music. Not to mention, the painted pictures shown during the opening sequence have dark, warm coloring, to a majority of the paintings. This is probably why it brings some sort of "warm" feeling. For this sequence, I can say there wasn't much technology put into use. All you can mainly see are the titles, the painted imagery (which I'm guessing they were all actually painted), and the transitions, which is nothing too big. Just a visible fade-in into the next picture.
