Lord Of War Title Sequence

Video to be uploaded.


  • The typography is particularly interesting in the beginning of the title sequence as it is situated in a factory around machinery, the typography looks almost mechanical (though it also could connote to the army or police force) so it suits the setting very much. 
  • The audience is put in a very interesting position for the beginning of this as they are following the bullet and put in its perspective. We follow the journey that the bullet takes which is a strange experience to put the average person in.
  • In the title of the film lord and war are in capitals, they are both words that connote power and generally relate to violence in films or fighting for something. 
  • the typography is white and so is situated in places that make it easy for the audience to see and understand what it says, they had to plan exactly where they could put it less than for the effect the situation of the typography would have on the audience. 
  • the movements of the camera are very disorientating at times and puts the audience in a strange frame of mind.
  • the colours that change show the audience that the setting and most likely country has changed, this presents that the film will be constantly on the move, that there will be a lot of different settings. 
  • after the bullet has made its way around the world, to the music that would make the audience feel the title and film is quite happy, it is contrasted with the child being shot with that very bullet, this would create a very confused feeling for the audience as they have been put in a very strange position.
