Rush Hour 3 (2007)

Rush Hour 3 (2007)

Rush Hour 3 is about two cops who head to pairs to protect a french woman who has information about a secret organisation called the 'Triads'. After an assassination on a Ambassador.

I think this film has a very good title sequence because i believe it draws the audience in well by the shots they used and through the use of diegetic and non-diegetic music also the way the characters are  introduced.

Rush Hour 3 uses titles over moving images, which involves incorporating the credit titles with moving images behind it. Rush hour 3 is a action/comedy. The film starts of with a ident which shows who is the distributor and who owns full rights of the film, in this case it is ‘New Line Cinema’. The next shot is a high long-shot of the city and some buildings also it has some text which is in white, which pops out from the background and the style of the writing it is a blocky style font, the name of the directors are larger and in bold to show that they are important. Then it is a extreme wide shot of a busy American high way and is slowly zooming in. which also it shows some text and shows us the two main stars in the film ‘jackei Chan’ and ‘Chris Tucker’. By this it shows the audience the location of the film which is America. Also in the background it has a soft catchy jazz type music through the first few shots. Then it shows us one of the main characters who is at work and in his police officer uniform and is managing the cars on a busy road.  The music changes into a old slow jazz song which is diegetic music because the character is also listening to this song in his headphones which he is singling along to and dancing which is funny and is a bit of comedy. Then he calls the other main character who is going to a meeting along with an important person. These two shots give an indication to the audience on who is the main character because they are the first two people we saw. Overall i think this film had a excellent title sequence because it draws in the audience nicely also they added humour which was was entertaining and funny. Below i have screenshots of the first few shots in the title sequence and the font used.


One reason i believe why this title sequence was very successful was because it had a lot of humour in it and it was very entertaining. The way they introduced the two main characters was good. Also the use of non-diegetic music helped set the tone of the film with the help of the first scene which was  of the police officer dancing to a old jazz song.
