In this sequence, it portrays the lifestyle of 21 jump street, it contains images and scenes of partying, doing drugs, crime, school life and romance. Throughout these themes, they illustrate that the two main characters struggle to progress in life with these constant barriers to obtain, the lifestyle of 21 jump street. They use fake identites to also maintain this lifestyle, by putting on costumes such as: casual clothes and police uniform. They live in a normal everyday estate near a school, and they work at a police station where they, hide their identities to look like a student. Alot of props they begin to learn and use are: police baton, guns and police cuffs which, vary from working in a class doing: science, drama , labs and much more student activites that, they are forced to do in order to 'fit in'.
This typography within the opening sequences portrays one of the main characters plaied in the movie by the actor Channing Tatum. The typography is in shining bold font creating it as the central figure denoting this, also it connotes the actor himself as the central figure. Moreover, the font in bold creates a connotation of the character as, strong himself due to this font. Also, it silver colouring connotes steel, again showing a strong figurative character with, the bullets in the background connoting a dangerous lifestyle.

The 21 Jump street institutional logo is denoted in bold red and blue font, the big font makes the title the central dominant attraction for the audience, keeping it in key iconography. Nevertheless, it is connoted through the two colours flashing like a police siren as a result, giving off connotations of police protecting, serving and justice. However , the movie subverts this as, the police are often crazy,wild and out of control giving off a juxtapostion of a hidden meaning within the title.- In this scene, the background has explosions with the directors, this could connote the explosive lifestyle within the movie or, how much of a big impact the directors had on the movie, almost celebrating them in a way.
- In this text, the background is pink with hearts flying in the sky showing, quite a soft lifestyle. The pink background connotes a feminity side of the person or, maybe represents a girl which gives impressions of what the characer could be like or how they act. The font is also quite bold and eye-catching which attracts the audience
In the scene with the music disc in the background, it resembles the music maker ' Mark Mothersbaugh' work as, it connotes the hard work put in the music rooms and the amount of realism as, it resembles it.
In this scene, it displays 'Dave Franco' name in rainbows and a happy field, this connotes that this actor is quite calm,happy and maybe gentle, giving off impressions of what the audience should expect from him. 
- In this scene, it illustrates who the story was by, it creates quite a synchronous scene with the typewriter, it connotes the effort put into the story as the typewriter moves quite fast, the white colour is quite eye-catching and attracting to the audience.
The timeline I have done is from the movie '21 Jump Street'. The pattern of the title sequence begins to start with the developers and producers
and the actors near the end resembling the matter of importance. Right at the start (0:07), the developers come first showing the hierachy they have as, they have put in the effort and developed the movie. As a result, funding the movie to build up to it's high expecations and reach to markets and cinemas. Also, they put the story and who influnced it after aswell,( 0:22) as '21 Jump Street' is not an original idea. It says it is' Based on the televison series' and who created it as, it plays a big part in influencing the story of the movie. Moreover ,it avoids any copyright within the movie as, the creators can claim copyright as stealing their idea. However , they put it near the start to show important they are as, even though they didn't make it but they influenced it. Nevertheless, the editor comes around (0:45) near the middle as, he may not play a role in the movie or is actually seen but, this person is behind all the cut scenes and how the movie flows, he creates continuity and makes sure the audiences who spectacte this, can spectacte it cleary without no confusion. After this, finally the actors come in all in order. The first two actors that are on screen are Jonah Hill (0:48) and Channing Tatum(0:51). The reason these two characters come in first , because they are the central dominant figure in the movie, they are the main characters who the audience pay attention to as, they make up most of the movie due, to having most screening. Nevertheless, they are big budget actors who are quite famous. Near the end, they introduce a special guest at (1:01) ' with ice cube; the reason the word 'with' is used as, he may not be a professional actor but, he is untrained and the role he plays suits his own ethncity. Also, he has a very big target audience which can attract them, to watch the movie due to this famous rapper. Near the end, they introduce the casting (1:20), as without them, they would of not been able to get the fitting roles for the characters in the movie. At, (1:25) and (1:29) the music and costume designer come in, for rememberance, as the music builds up the atmosphere in additon, to most of them being famous songs. Also, the costume designer comes at the very end as, the mise-en-scene in this movie plays a big role due, to it being alot about changing identity keeping it key, for it not go wrong and be suitable.
Overall, the timeline has helped me gain understanding on how, I should make my own opening sequence. The timeline has made me understand, the professionalism that takes in place within just a 1 minute clip, the name and screening has to take place cleary for the audience to know and understand the representation of importance. Nevertheless, the connotations and denotations have made me understand, the typography or iconography the images contain to, brighten the audiences expectations and impressions. As a result, I must use this in my opening to create, this realism of an opening sequence.
