Kyle Cooper - Spiderman 3 opening sequence







" Forget the film, watch the title" is a quote from Kyle Cooper himself. In Coopers opening sequence for Spider Man 3, we see an outstanding phenominon that has undeniably precise dynamics and flow to it. One thing to notice about all of Coopers' works, is that when the title's come up the text is always edited in a special way and is moving. This is a great effect as the audiences' eyes immediately catch the title because Cooper puts it specifically in a particular place to attract attention.  In the beginning we see a montage of lots of cartoons overlapping each other very fast. The music dominates as we hear a build up of action. Through this the audience is able to see small hints of the story line and plot, but it is merely a glimpse as the clips or page flipping in this instance are increasing the pace.There is a huge amount of visual effects used in the title sequence. The fact that camera was moving around in circles around the spiderweb was very clear, as it implies that the the audience is the spider crawling making the web. Also, when we see the scenes in the spider web from the previous movies, it not only refreshes our memory but also doesn't reveal anything about the movie. This is a very important technique that Cooper used, he believed that the title sequence should only give hints about the movie, but shouldn't reveal too much.
