Opening sequence conventions of Monsters inc

In Monster Inc, the title sequence and opening credits take around a minute and a half to produce the relevent information untill the film begins. These opening credits consist of many bright and colourful doors producing text which are part of the credits and also included are monsters which are relevent to the main storyline. Amongst the letters appearing in the doors, the media company is shown of which is Disney, Pixar. Within the opening credits the theme tune and soundtrack are both established, with in the first one and a half minutes, in time with all the moving doors, shapes and text the main theme tune/score is played. However once the movie begins, the music fades out, there is a change in location and a new 'score' begins.

Only one main character was shown out of many within the first three minutes which is Mr Waternoose who is the head of the 'Scare Company'. He begins as a friendly conscientious head of company yet his true personality is shown gradually as the film goes on. As there is only one 'main' character who is portrayed in the first three minutes, a further 3 of the main characters are introduced in the next minute.
Of the main locations are the 'Scare' Factory and also Boo's bedroom. These are both where the scaring takes place. As the movie is based purely at children, the movie is mainly bright, colourful and easy to understand with memorable characters, the main narrative starts in the bedroom, where the 'practice' scaring happens and then leads on to the factory.
