Napoleon Dynamite Title Sequence

The Napoleon Dynamite title sequence

The Napoleon Dynamite title sequence is a very simple and easy title sequence to have been created. The title sequence used everyday objects such as: plates, a wallet and foil to show everyone the people who created the film. They put ketchup and other forms of condiment on the plates or the food to show who produced the film and give all the credit. Some of the objects shown on screen represented the persons name they were showing, the way they show you the title of the film is by pulling up an I.D card which shows the name Napoleon Dynamite, this is a very clever technique because the title of the film is also the name of the main character, by showing the I.D card you get to see what the main character to looks like and know the name of the film.

The items that appear tell us what kind of person the main character is, at one point you see a Alien club card, which tells us that the main character is nerdy and likes conspiracy. The food that is shown is really greasy and fattening which shows that the main character is unhealthy, you also see some handheld gaming console showing he is also a gamer, which are usually represented as also being nerdy. At another point you can see a shuriken made out of tin foil which means that he likes to play with what he uses for food, people would usually represent this as being a sad thing to do and people would probably bully him.
