Innerspace (1987) — Art of the Title

Innerspace (1987) — Art of the Title





The title sequence starts off very dark, in the background their appears to be some kind of object that seems to be quite shiny and pristine but at the moment it is difficult to distinguish what it is.






After that it then dissolves into the following shot. As you can see on the image the object appears to be some sort of diamond or crystal. Or perhaps it could even be glass.







Then after the that the shot becomes more clear and it makes you think that it is most definitely a diamond or something valuable.







In the next part of the title sequence the camera zooms out and from what you can see it appears to be cubes of ice with some sort of drink. I think this is very smart because at first the camera work makes you think one thing but then after that you realise its something completely different.





The reason for me liking this specific title sequence is because at the start you get a vague vision on the object and then throughout the title scene the object becomes a bit more clear and makes you think that it is something very valuable but then towards the end you realise that what you once thought was valuable is just cubes of ice in a glass whiskey.
