Doctor who title sequence

For my second title sequence i have chosen Doctor Who. The reason why i have chosen this one is because usually in title sequences you see the main characters faces and find out who they are and a bit about their personality. But with the Doctor Who title sequence we only find out the names of the Actor who plays Doctor Who 'Matt Smith' and the name of the actress who plays his sidekick 'Karen Gillan'. The title of the show already lets us know who the main character must be by the name of 'Doctor Who'.The title sequence makes it obvious to the audience that the genre of the show is science fiction.




The title sequence shows a police box flying thorough what looks like a time portal or a black hole.This show the audience that the genre is science fiction. The police box is getting hit by lightning while it goes through the portal. The portal takes us on a kind of roller coaster ride with all of the different directions it keeps taking. The police box makes the audience feel as though we should follow it.Also from the way the police box is flying through the portal it gives the audience a clue that the genre is science fiction.The text is introduced by a strike of lightning and then it appears in the middle of the screen and then disappears by making the audience feel as though we are going into it. The font looks like it is made out of shiney steel look to it and it also has a kind of block solid feel to it. The title 'Doctor Who' is also in this style but there is a DH inbetween doctor who in the same of the police box.
