THE ART OF THE TITLE 3: BRONSON OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE


OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE:

 This film is based of real life events of a man originally named (Michael Peterson) who changed his name to (Charles Bronson). The transition came from his profession as a bare knuckle fighter. The opening chapter to this film have very dark surroundings with very little lighting. We see a caged Charles Bronson who is doing intense training as a professional boxer. This suggests a very strong and intense visual.


At the start, we see a perspective of how (Charles Bronson) was so passionate about being famous. He also narrates that his attributes are very limited and has found his profession through prison. We also observe a fight scene between Bronson and a police squad. As the two opposing forces engage in a fight, the music overwhelms the background noise and intensifies whilst the fighting is taking place.

DIALOGUE: In the first 6 minutes of the introduction, (Charles Bronson), formerly known as (Michael Peterson), gives a little insight into his personal life

He was born in Aberystwyth in 1952 and was raised in Liverpool and Luton by a respectable working-class family. His first conviction was armed robbery of a post office in 1974. He has spent 34 years in prison and to this day his release date is still pending. He has spent most of his time in high-security psychiatric hospitals and in solitary confinement.

 From his school days, he showed a propensity for violence and his reputation as the ultimate hard man. His frequent assaults on prison guards on people and staff was always from the start of his life.

  1. I have researched the film to learn about its opening, its content and genre but I do not think that I have viewed the same opening sequence as you have as your comments do not relate to what I saw. Please send me the link. In your analysis, you MUST have screenshots, anyway, so that the moderator can see what you are analysing.
