From watching the opening moments of the title sequence of 'Hackers', we can immediately tell that it is a drama/crime. We are greeted with a solicitor speaking about the crimes that have been committed. We immediately think that it would be a mid-life man, but instead is a young boy. The production company United Artists Pictures in white bold writing on a black background. The main actors are then presented, Angelina Jolie and Fisher Stevens. The overall look of the Titles show a futuristic theme - showing what the film is about.
The codes and conventions of this particular opening sequence has been created in a very clever, alternate way. What I mean by this is that the different camera angles create tension, making the audience think that a massive crime has been commited. This 'false' tension is then broken when we realise that the "Hacker" is a young boy. We know this as the first scene is the secret service kicking down a door in order to arrest a young boy with the charges of hacking.
The aim of this exercise is to draw attention to the codes and conventions of a title sequence. This lacks detail.
