DETECTIVES

We accessed the art of the title and used it to watch the intro of the French detective series detectives. One of the ways that you could tell it is a television detective series is because in the opening sequence detective files were shown to show the main characters within in the show. It also had the opening credits in a clear white and black bold font and the title of the programme in a bigger font to make it stand out from the other credits. It also had a catchy and cheerful theme song which would not be featured in a film opening.

ZEN

During the lesson we watched the opening sequence for the tv show zen. One of the ways in which I know this is of the crime drama genre is because the opening sequence features a man holding a weapon this creates suspense and jeopardy. Another feature of the opening titles is the shot of the questura which is the Italian police which shows that the tv show is of the crime drama genre. The colour scheme of the opening sequence is green, white and red with black silhouettes the use of the colours from the Italian flag suggests that it is set in Italy.
