Spiderman

Spiderman opens by flipping through a comic book to reference that the character/movie is based on a comic book series. Your eyes then follow the names of the people that produced the movie through a series of spiderwebs. The spiderwebs are somewhat realistic but still look like they are out of a comic book. The letters of the words are in the same font and colors of the title (red and white). The words are tossed from web to web to make you feel as if you are Spiderman. The words are in the center of the webs to represent where a spider would be. Then you notice that city buildings are now behind the webs and you feel as if you're flying from building to building by spiderweb. I think this effect is used to represent the way Spiderman travels through the city by attaching spiderwebs to the builidings. The last spiderweb then turns into a real spiderweb as a transistion to the movie beginning. This represents the comic book series turning from cartoon into real life characters. The entire opening sequence is exciting and intense and the music adds to the suspense that you would feel flipping through the pages of a comic book to find out what happens next.
