Opening Title Sequence Analysis
The First Title:- A Kennedy Miller Mitchell Production This title comes immediately after a pitch black screen stunning the viewer, this is typical for most movies as it interests the viewer. The colour scheme for the titles are very rusty, dirty run down all relating to the cars and the genre of the movie which is post apocalyptic, The are cracks and scratched metal all over.The title texture is Chrome which links to the entire car idea although the background is still the same as the production crew scenes.
After about 3 seconds of the title saying mad max on its own a small explosion occurs and the words Fury Road in molten metal appear in front of the Mad Max in chrome with a large bang. The overall affect is very eery and very violent as the title presents you with very violent thoughts. When the molten title Fury Road comes the rusty, dirty and scratched background. The opening titles are very important as it introduces the genre and other various aspects of the movie within the first 2-4 minutes. Though the film is titled Mad Max, the phrase "Fury Road" comes from the War Boy Nux. As a War Boy he knows he is at the end of his shortened lifespan but Nux still wants to accomplish something that will be remembered after his passing. Though Max and Furiosa are usually seen as the protagonists of this film, I found Nux to go through the greatest transformation, a hero's journey to realize his "manifest destiny."
