The ‘Children of Men title’ sequence offers plenty of interest as well as really engaging the audience into wanting to watch the whole film. From the title sequence the audience gains an insight to what the film will be about, however it does this in a way which won’t give the whole film away, but just enough to draw people in. During the title sequence we see a group of people in shock in a café watching the news; the shock came from the news that the ‘youngest person in the world’ had been stabbed, ‘baby Diego’ was 18 years old and the disbelief from his death left everyone anxious. From this we can gain hints of the plot, no child has been born for 18 years which means that its coming towards the end of the world, also there were smoke and pollution from all the cars and red buses which also shows a deteriorated world and that no one really cares about anything seeing as they are all going to die soon. We can tell from the sequence that the location is Central London due to familiar London sights such as the big red buses, the English accents, St Paul’s cathedral and the metropolitan police in their uniform. Due to the big bomb blast and the quick view of the female holding her severed arm encourages the audience to believe that this film is a horror or drama which is a genre which interests many people. Also the screams towards the end of the sequence and the dull lighting creates a sad and gloomy mood, the scream really surprises the audience and jolts the mood and atmosphere. An enigma gained from this is why was the 18 year old boy the youngest person in the world? Also why was there a bomb blast, what does this suggest? These enigmas encourage the audience to want to watch the film in order to find out the answers to these questions and to satisfy their thoughts and issues.
