Hand-held CAMERA!!!

One of the main techniques used during the title sequence is the hand-held camera effect. This is used during the credits while playing a film of the children growing up. Using the hand-held camera gives the effect of a homemade movie. This helps create the happy family-feel which I was talking about earlier. I think this was used because it makes you feel more like you are involved in the movie. The shot makes you feel as though you are looking through the camera at the actors instead of looking  at a movie screen. This effect is made more prominant by having negative space around the two shots and making the focus drawn to the characters. It also separates them with a small gap to show the difference in their characters and roles.

Using a hand-held camera makes the videos of the children look shaky and also slightly blurred. This makes the introduction look unprofessional. By making the begining look unprofessional it sets up the opinion that the movie will be down to earth, which it is.
