The opening sequence to "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" starts off by introducing the writers and directors of the film. To present these names, they use a child like type of writing because obviously this film is aimed for children. Also involved in the background is a rainbow which is fully bright and coloured which is very attention grabbing and would be easily attractive to children.
Following from this, there is a equally bright image of a man riding on an old style bike through a field of lollipop trees, this shows you what the film will be like; they title does do this but now the viewer has an image to link with it and get bring them more into the film.
Again after this they use a bright coloured background and put writing over it. In this part, the writing is different to the opening writing, it's block writing which is meant to be matching colours with the background and the same type of shape as the image behind it.
After this the images become like images from the film; showing you the main character and his father with another colourful background to show how happy they are. Following this would be an image with the mayor in it who is larger than the main character, this shows how things that aren't supposed to be big, become big (like in the movie).
Again the next two images use a rainbow of colour to keep the introduction bright and eye catching but it also uses images of large food with small people, this basically shows you how things will get out of hand but also keeps you interested because the idea of large food would interest any child.
The final two images use everyday things and add the over sized food into them to show how the film uses a lot of imagination to create it's images. Even though the opening doesn't introduce the main companies used in it, it still shows all it needs because it's a children's film and obviously they wouldn't really be interested in who made it.
