Codes and convention

The codes of the film opening are mostly technical code because they are mostly designed on computer and edited on computer. There would be some symbolic codes because the character(s) in the opening scenes use body language for example in The Incredibles opening body language is used to shows that the characters are fighting as if there superhero or villains and right at the start you can see what clothing they're wearing which is red which could mean they're evil. Things such as clothing and colour are symbolical code so even if everything is done by computer you can still find symbolic codes.

The openings also shows what genre the movie is for example again The Incredibles it shows animation character and then character in action so this suggest to the audience that the movie is in the action and animation genre. Most movies opening do have logo's either of the companies that produces it or the logo of the movie for example The Incredibles has a movie logo rather then the companies logo on it's opening so when people see this logo they will know what it is related too.

The openings normally show shows the cast info whilst it is playing through the opening. The audience would watch the movie opening and expect to see those kind of things no matter what movie it is, so they would expect to see cast info, who the movie is made and produced by and they would expect the opening to giving a hint of what the movie will be like and what genre it is in.

You can compare it too Iron Man's opening and you'll see thing in common with The Incredibles opening. You will see that both opening contains cast information to tell you who stars in the movie and who is playing which character.

(The first one is Iron Man's open and secound one is The Incredibles)

As you can see both move has cast information in them and most openings do its something everyone would expect from a movie. They both also show things that might happen in the movie or what might be in there for example in Iron Man's opening you see his suit so you will know thats in it and in The Incredibles you will see people fighting as the credits come up. These are the main things audience would expect form a movie opening becuase they are the main and common thing.
