In order to get an idea of what title sequences in romantic drama films include, I have decided to look at the title sequences for the film Letters To Juliet.
As the film is loosely based around Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet which involves a male and female character falling in love with each other, the title sequence to Letters To Juliet involves a montage of images of couples in love either kissing on the lips or on the hand. The images begin from an Ancient Roman painting of a couple in love and go through what seems to be different decades showing how the way in which couples experience love and romance has changed over time. The image after the first one seems to be of a couple from Victorian times and this image and the first one both show the male kissing the female on the cheek or on the hand. As the next image appears, again it seems like it is from Victorian times and the couple this time are kissing on the lips, possibly starting to stress how in love the couples in the next few images actually are. There are several other images, now all showing the couples kissing on the lips, including a cartoon image of a male and female character kissing and what seems to be a photograph from the sixties of three young couples, one hugging and smiling for the camera and the other two kissing on the lips. The images used in these extremely effective title sequences all express the feeling of love and romance between a couple in a relationship which therefore reflects the romance genre which we have partly chosen as one of our themes within our production.
