Cheaper by the dozen 2 :
The title sequence of Cheaper By The Dozen 2 starts with camera showing the floor, the car then pulls up the camera showing the front of the car. Then camera then moves to the side of the car, still at a low level to show someone getting out of the car showing there legs and all the people getting out. In this opening sequence there is a Low level, mid-shot, up-beat music, crane and aerial view along with a variety of other shots.

Chicago:
In the opening secquence of Chicargo there is an extreme zooming close up of an eye, which zooms into the pupil of the eye then zooming out to see the words Chicago, there is also a close up of a mouth, as well as a zoom out of light - panning up and up beat music. other conventions that are in this title sequence are as follows: a low level camera shot of ladies legs in heels with the camera following them, a zoom in on a poster following a character, a close up on everything not showing face the characters face to create a sense of mistery, something thrown over the camera then the scene is changed, lthere is then a low level again, a long shot- low head lights come up and the camera finally reveals who the character is.

Storm breaker:
Storm Breaker begins with a black background and white titles, it uses special effects starting of blurry then slowly comeing into focus, the music has a steady beat. Also included in this title sequence is a pan and a long shot of the whole room from back then from front as soon as someone’s is mentioned/something it shows you it. the transitions in this title sequence consists of alot of straight cuts to different camera which contraficts everthing that he says.

10 things I hate about you:
This title sequence's titles have a chalky animated effect on the writing, the town then comes up and it has the same effect as the writting which makes it look drawn before going into a normal, then pans, upbeat music as it pans it zooms.

50 first dates:
In this title sequence the titles ripple like waves which ties in with the Hawaiian music that is playing. An image slowly moves and focuses on a pineapple then the picture behind it changes but the pineapple still there. This is all revelvant to the Hawaiian theme and sets the scene of the film.

Step up 2:
The titles to Step Up 2 starts with a low level. Then it has a memory and it shows this by saturated colours, the music is also distant like her memory, there is a narrator over the top. All of these conventions make the opening Sequence very momory like.

Edward scissor hands:
very zoomed in/cant work out what it is, door extreme close up and the opens then you go through it, titles white font on black background that flies in then the two words open like scissors, everything’s very zoomed (out of the ordinary) and the writings in odd shapes, low lighting, eerie/sad music, pictures/sequences fade into each other, looks as if its falling then it goes black and odd shapes appear like cookies then light comes back on and shows all the shapes, zooms out on pictures, zooms all the way out until you get an over the shoulder shot so it looks like everything you saw was a point of view shot.

Billy Elliot:
Close up on someone putting a record on a record player. Low level of record player in fore ground and feet jumping in the background (hard to workout what’s happening). Cuts to high level so that all you can see is the top of the boys head every time he jumps up. Wall paper in background blurred. Zooms out slightly to a mid shot and the wall paper comes into focus. Zooms in on different parts of his body when his in the air. Zooms out to long shot.

Sweeney Todd:
Black background slowly mist is coming over it, thick unrealistic rain starts to fall, shows a town and zooms in on a window on which a blood drop has splat. Cuts to a painting and zooms out of it, follows blood drops around onto ornaments and into the machines and everything then sizzling in the oven with pies.
